Are Old Ways the New Ways in Science?
While modern science traces its roots back a few thousand years, the reality is that knowledge has been collected for far longer.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the first scientists of this land, holding deep, centuries-old understandings of the world. But how much of the current scientific approach, especially in terms of caring for marine and coastal environments, is shaped by this old knowledge?
Join Cheryl Leavy and special guests for a discussion exploring and applying traditional knowledge in current marine research and practice.
Cheryl Leavy is the inaugural QM First Nations Fellowship recipient which is proudly supported by the Queensland Museum Foundation.
