FL250100115 – Amplifying Indigenous Ecological Knowledge in Western Science with Language
Professor Meakins aims to explore how Indigenous languages encode ecological knowledge and social dynamics. This project will show how language is shaped by Country and structures knowledge about it, offering new insights into Australia’s cultural and environmental history. The research will support Indigenous language renewal, inform conservation practices, and contribute to curriculum development. It will also enhance public understanding of Indigenous knowledge systems during the UNESCO Decade of Indigenous Languages.
