The fourth annual Expo East Retailer of the Year award ceremony will honor individuals and / or stores nominated
in the categories of Inspiring Retail
Woman,
Standout Health Food / Supplement Store, Best
Community Project, and Creative New Store / Remodel.
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.
