Welcome back to the best notes on everything you need to know from the day you start uni to the day you graduate! NAIDOC Week 2024 has just wrapped up and we wanted to acknowledge the Indigenous leaders and work we have here at UoA.
We chat with Kaurna elder Uncle Rod about reclaiming Kaurna language and Kaneisha about her studies at the Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music (CASM) at the university.
Guest: Uncle Rod O’Brien and Kaneisha O’Loughlin
Hosted by: Shannon Pearce
This episode was produced by Shannon Pearce.
This year’s NAIDOC Week theme is Keep the Fire Burning: Blak, Loud and Proud! to celebrate “the unyielding spirit of our communities and invites all to stand in solidarity, amplifying the voices that have long been silenced”. If you're an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student and want tailored support, head to Wirltu Yarlu and have a look at how they can help you. Head to the CASM website if you want to learn more about how you can get involved in Aboriginal music studies at the Elder Conservatorium of Music.
