Aboriginal-controlled adult education
Exploring educational empowerment for Mob
Year granted: 2020
Organisation location: Glebe, NSW
Themes: Empowerment, Cultural safety
Project summary: This research project will explore how Aboriginal-controlled adult education has and continues to, empower individuals, families, and their communities. It will demonstrate adult education as a crucial agent of empowerment, knowledge sharing and self-determination for the Aboriginal community and will draw from alumni testimonies and life histories that contribute to this understanding. While this research will centrally explore the importance of Aboriginal-controlled adult education in Australia more broadly, and in what ways it has contributed to community empowerment, it will also enable Tranby to evaluate our organisational impact on alumni and investigate the rippling impacts of adult education within their communities.
