Six University of Queensland staff members are featured on a national NAIDOC Week list of 52 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are changing the world, including our Centre Director Pitjantjatjara and Nukunu man Professor James Ward.

The UQ academics appear in an article published by science magazine Cosmos:
