Collaborative Research Network focus on Indigenous children
Over the past three days members of the Early Years Education Collaborative Research Network came from Brisbane, Melbourne, and Dubbo to meet in Bathurst. Guest presenters were Dr Jean Phillips (QUT), Professor Jeannie Herbert (CSU), Fiona Skelton and Deborah Kikkawa from the Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children, Department of Social Services in Canberra. We learned a lot from these presenters and planned future research projects and grant applications.
