In 1996, with some reluctance about leaving
AIATSIS, Glenys accepted a permanent position in the "mainstream" of the Public Service at the Department of Social Security.
Through these publications,
AIATSIS shares the findings of research that contributes to the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, led by and in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
In a 1991 editorial for Australian Aboriginal Studies to inaugurate his term as Principal of
AIATSIS, Bill Jonas wrote that the Institute had a tradition of scholars pursuing multidisciplinary research that was based on excellence and sensitivity towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Abstract: This paper reports on a project at
AIATSIS to revive the Ngunawal language of the Canberra and nearby New South Wales region.
Jaky, who had a long association with
AIATSIS in many guises, including most recently as a Director of Research, was the first Aboriginal woman to be general editor of Australian Aboriginal Studies.
It is gratifying to see this evolve: best practice in ethical research, in which community agency in research is foregrounded, is a key aim of research at
AIATSIS.
BlackWords was established by Aboriginal writers and scholars in 2007, and in 2013
AIATSIS began a major new project in BlackWords.
