Past conferences

AIATSIS is committed to leadership and excellence in promoting, facilitating and undertaking high quality research in Australian Indigenous studies. Below are listings of past years' conferences on issues relating to all aspects of Indigenous studies. The Native Title Research Unit (NTRU) National Native Title Conference is held every year; the AIATSIS National Indigenous Studies Conference is held every two years.

AIATSIS does not publish the full proceedings of all conferences. It does, however, encourage conveners to arrange publication where appropriate. It reminds conveners that Aboriginal Studies Press may be contacted to discuss potential publication and that the editor of the Institute’s journal, Australian Aboriginal Studies, is willing to consider proposals for thematic papers based on conference sessions.
