Lisa Ward is joined by Associate Professor Guy Charlton to chat about his work on solutions to First People’s issues in Australia, Asia and America. 

In this episode, Guy discusses UNE’s First Peoples Rights and Law centre (FPRL) which was established to highlight the importance of First Peoples Rights and Law throughout Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia Pacific. 

Guy speaks about working as a tribal attorney in the United States and discusses his research in ‘usufructuary rights’, which involves hunting, fishing, and gathering rights attached to the land. 

The centre encourages interdisciplinary research with post-graduate students, researchers and collaborators that have included lawyers, anthropologist, linguists, political scientists, and sociologists. The goal of the centre is to improve the law and policy outcomes for First People’s. 

You can learn more about Guy’s expertise by watching this 10-part series webinar on Indigenous Peoples, Heritage and Landscape in the Asia Pacific or visit the First Peoples Rights and Law centre website for more information about the centre and its aims.
