CRE Indigenous Health + Alcohol launches 2020 Symposium Series

August 2020

NDRI’s Annalee Stearne will co-present the first symposium in the 2020 Symposium Series hosted by the Centre of Research Excellence: Indigenous Health + Alcohol. The symposium on ‘Aboriginal leadership in research and policy’ will take place on Thursday 20 August from 11am to 12pm AEST. NDARC’s Doug James will co-present the third symposium ‘Cultural approaches to offering alcohol care’ on Thursday 1 October.

The free, online symposium series features the research being conducted by the CRE’s students and early career researchers. All presenters are Aboriginal themselves and so bring a unique insight into the challenges and opportunities in this field.
