Ed Wensing & Jonathan Taylor

In what is a complex technical–legal environment, sometimes without precedence, the full range of housing tenure possibilities open to native title holders are often not fully explored. At the heart of the national debate there continues to be a disjuncture between the relative merits of exercising individual over collective property rights.

Previous NTRU Seminars

Native Title, Decision-making and Conflict Management

This seminar series ran from 28 February - 23 May 2005 and was organised by Ms Toni Bauman (Indigenous Facilitation and Mediation Project). Speaker list, abstracts, papers and transcripts are available.

 

Regionalism, Indigenous Governance and Decision Making

This seminar series ran from 22 March–31 May 2004 and was organised by Dr Stuart Bradfield. The series explored the way understandings of 'regionalisation' impact upon Indigenous peoples and influence the way they govern themselves and make decisions. It investigated the way different groups sought to increase control over their own lives and their regions, the barriers to this control, and possibilities for increasing control in the future. The series looked at both the theory and practice of diverse themes surrounding 'regionalism' by looking at a number of case studies of Indigenous regional organisation, as well as including papers which investigated the idea of the 'regional', and what it means for Indigenous peoples and organisations. Speaker lists, abstracts, papers and transcripts are available.

This seminar series ran from March–June 2003. A list of speakers is available.
