This subject provides an introduction to the major ethical issues in Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander research. Issues addressed include Indigenous knowledge systems,
research protocols, collaborative and partnership research, reciprocity, dissemination
of outcomes, questions of intellectual property, ownership, and research and development
for self-determination. Particular emphasis will be placed on a critical analysis
of existing research practices and procedures as they impact and influence Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander populations. Students will be introduced to issues and
notions through online learning including the discussion board and e-mail, digital
medium and reading materials. Therefore it is essential that students have access
to the World Wide Web to complete this subject.
