Indigenous Studies

The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) has created the Guidelines for Ethical Research in Australian Indigenous Studies (GERAIS) to ensure that research with and about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples follows a process of meaningful engagement and reciprocity between the researcher and the individuals and/or communities involved in the research.

UTS has written this guide for referencing Indigenous material. References to Indigenous artworks, designs, objects, or images, need to note the Nation or Country and/or language group of the Indigenous person or community who created them as well as where the Country is located. Sometimes this is not known, in which case they use "unrecorded location". This page includes examples of Indigenous materials that are viewed online and in person.

These guidelines provide relevant advice about ethical conduct in research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
