Pathways to non-Indigenous Allyship with Indigenous Australian Peoples (an ARC Discovery Indigenous 2025 grant administered by ANU) (2025-2028)
Abstract
This project will identify pathways to reduce prejudice and foster allyship with Indigenous Australians. Leveraging momentum from the Voice referendum, the project will create significant new knowledge of the political and social levers that reduce prejudice and generate support for Indigenous issues. Outcomes include a better understanding of allyship and effective interventions for prejudice reduction. The findings will benefit social and political movements, particularly supporting Indigenous Australian initiatives like the Uluru Statement. Potential policy benefits include, informing governments on garnering public support for broader social policy initiatives like "Close the Gap."
