The Language of Relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples: A new open textbook

The Language of Relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples - Introductory Guide has been published in Open Textbooks @ UQ.

About the book

The Language of Relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples - Introductory Guide is written by UQ staff and students - Professor Tracey Bunda, Lynnell Angus, Sybilla Wilson, Mia Strasek-Barker, Kealey Griffiths, Lucas Schober, Thomas Scanlan, Keiko Mishiro, Vanessa Eagles, and Dr Laura Deane.

The book was created to support the UQ community to build stronger relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples across the University.

The Language of Relationships Guide aims to inform students and staff of appropriate language and provide tools for non-Indigenous peoples in the context of formal, academic communication and everyday conversations that will build and enhance those relationships.

The Language of Relationships Guide was produced as part of a Student-Staff Partnership (SSP) Project.
