The Third World Indigenous Cancer Conference was held in Naarm/Melbourne last month. The Croakey Conference News Service was enlisted to cover the first two days of the conference through the articles published below:
- World Indigenous Cancer Conference 2024: Sharing Our Way to support knowledge and action
- What is at the heart of our work to improve cancer outcomes? First Nations Peoples share stories and motivations
- Following our Process, making Progress and finding Power at the Third World Indigenous Cancer Conference
- Indigenous Health in Indigenous Hands at the 2024 World Indigenous Cancer Conference.
These articles are by Danielle Manton, a Barunggam women, grown up on Dharug Country, and a Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Teaching & Learning at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where she is also a PhD candidate in the School of Public Health. Her PhD research explores privileging Indigenous perspectives and voices into the allied health curriculum.
