Abstract:
During 1996 and 1997 an Australian parliamentary committee conducted an inquiry into greater autonomy for Torres Strait Islanders, but by 2000 the future of the issue seemed unclear. This thesis explores what the notion of autonomy has meant for Torres Strait and for Torres Strait Islanders in the past, and what it might mean in the future. The thesis uses material from the period before European contact to just after the end of the parliamentary inquiry. ¶ Several analytical tools were utilised to explore the concept of autonomy. Major among these to propose and then analyse the relationship

By exploring and charting processes in the production of knowledges on Torres Strait Islanders over the last Century, this thesis has sought to understand what conditions the possibilities for Islanders in a Western order of things and to learn about whether historical relations between us, as formed discursively in the literature between Islanders and non-Islanders, constrain educational possibilities for Islanders.

They are also keen to have their cultures’ child learning practices recognised and respected within mainstream education.

Following years of advocacy addressing inequitable government policies towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, the first Aboriginal Medical Service was established in Redfern, New South Wales, in 1971. From this one Aboriginal Medical Service there grew many more across Australia; in some jurisdictions they are referred to as Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS).

In negotiating research relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the question of colonisation runs deep. Often, as a gesture to counter the colonising effects of the research gaze, ‘participation’ is hailed as a methodological solution, as a means of healing and transforming power relations. In practice however, the ethical implications of research activities remain complex and contested (Cornwall, 2008, p.276).

The extractives industry (mining, oil, and gas) engages in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities to reinforce its organizational legitimacy and enhance its public image. One such approach to CSR that is popular in the industry is through funding sport initiatives aimed at Indigenous peoples (often termed Sport for Development; SFD). On the surface, such funding may seem commendable and innocuous; however, questions have been raised about the ways in which such funding may obfuscate the harmful impacts that the extractives industry has had and continues to have on Indigenous peoples

Abstract:
This thesis is a study of identity across different generations of Torres Strait Islanders living outside the Torres Strait (also referred to as ‘Mainlanders’). The research aims, firstly, to examine the representation of identity across different generations of Islanders living outside the Torres Strait; secondly, to analyse critical aspects of this identity; and, thirdly, to explore new ways of representing ‘Mainland Islander’ identity in contemporary society. Since the end of World War Two, the Torres Strait Islander diaspora, located on the mainland of Australia, has continued to

Abstract:
This thesis explores dynamics of sociality and local identity on Warraber Island in the Torres Strait. I argue that Warraber residents' representation of themselves as a distinctive collectivity needs to be understood in terms of indigenous conceptions of relatedness and difference and with reference to local moral terms of communal life, in particular a valorised striving towards the idealised vision of moral relations known as gud pasin. This value is informed by a dense network of cognatic connections existing among Warraber residents – encapsulated in the local discourse of “ol wan p

Abstract:
Aboriginal Law and cultures are based on a belief system centred on the 'country' and the creation of its elements. Traditional law provided a firm basis for survival and for the interconnectedness of people, land and their relationship to each other. The communities lived a largely nomadic lifestyle that moved within defined territories, tied together by kinship (tribe, clan, skin group etc), which prescribed the social roles and appropriate behaviours between indivisuals. Relationships were reinforced by systems of obligation between individuals, particularly with regard to provision of good

Abstract:
Given the globally threatened status of dugongs and the fact that Torres Strait supports the world's largest dugong population, there is international, national, regional and local interest in ensuring the sustainability of the Torres Strait traditional dugong fishery. This fishery is endorsed by the Torres Strait Treafy between Australia and Papua New Guinea (PNG). This study investigated, within a biological context, the major factors (i.e., those additional to biological) that determine sustainability of the traditional dugong fishery in Torres Strait.
