Yarn with Aunty Jola
Yaama,
My name is Adjunct Professor Jola Stewart, and I would like to warmly invite our First Nations students to join me for academic writing and referencing workshops. These sessions are designed as casual catch-ups where you can bring along your questions, drafts, or ideas. If you’d like someone to look over your work before you submit, this is a safe space to do so.
Our focus will be on developing confidence, building strong academic skills, and supporting you to achieve the rigour needed on your academic journey through to completion.
Tuesday 7 October, 12pm - 1pm (Sydney time)

Whose Country am I on?
Australia's First Peoples have been living on the Australian continent for millennia.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australia is made up of many different and distinct groups, each with their own culture, customs, language and laws. They are the world’s oldest surviving culture; cultures that continue to be expressed in dynamic and contemporary ways.
If you would like to find out more information about whose country you are on, this website can help.
