In celebration of National Women's History Month, and in the spirit of honoring the achievements of
accomplished women in our communities, in March we will spotlight Women in Towne.
In addition to a heart pumping sweat session, their
women empowerment and tribal aspect give a keen sense of
community that make all
women feel at home, which is something essential to
accomplishing a great workout.
On the second day, the panel of
accomplished and wise Aboriginal
women (led by senior federal advisor Kerrie Tim, with Eileen Cummings, June Oscar AO, and Karen Nangala Woodley) was also a standout because it reminded us how important it is that we acknowledge that our research is taking place
in a context of a colonised white Australia, and that white research has long been used to entrench racism and sexism
in Aboriginal
communities, rather than to enhance understanding and bring about transformative social change.
