New research grant

A small yellow and white boat floats in the clear blue water by the shore in Vanuatu. There are huts on the shoreline and trees on the hillside behind them.

Congratulations to ICS Senior Research Fellow Fiona Cameron who, with Professor Katarina Serrano from the University of the South Pacific, has recently been awarded a research grant from the European Union, Global Climate Change Initiative and the Vanuatu Government. The grant, to the value of €10,800, is for a project entitled 'Traditional knowledge, climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, Vanuatu'. The project will involve the establishment of a national framework for the collection, access, use and storage of traditional knowledge for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.

The Institute for Culture and Society is located in Parramatta, “the place where the eel sets down” in Dharug language,
along the north bank of the Parramatta River. It sits on the traditional lands and waters of the Burramattagal people of the Dharug Nation,
who have been stewards and caretakers of these territories since time immemorial, in what today is referred to as Greater Western Sydney,
one of the most diverse cultural communities in the world and home to the largest number of Indigenous Australians in the country.
The Institute for Culture and Society acknowledges the Dharug, Eora, Dharawal (also referred to as Tharawal)
and Wiradjuri peoples as traditional custodians and Indigenous knowledge-holders, whose storytelling serve
as historical record, a form of teaching and learning, a way to care for Country,
and an expression of Indigenous culture and identity.
