Before I begin my week of tweeting #PublicHealthMoves I would like to acknowledge that the Wurundjeri People are the traditional owners of the land I am on. I note that March is luk Eel Season based on the Eastern Kulin Seasonal Calendar (image from @museumsvictoria).
I pay my respects for the Wurundjeri People and express my deep gratitude to their community for the kindness afforded to me a non Indigenous woman of colour who resides on land that was stolen.
The First Nations people of Naarm & across Australia have afforded me much grace. As individuals & a community they have transformed who I am an individual & as a Public Health professional. I am deeply grateful & committed to decolonisation, anti racist work.
With my @victoriauninews #MPH students this semester we have moved from *doing* a Acknowledgement of Country at the start of our classes, to explicitly stating it is our *choice* to do so in solidarity.
We have also decided (on the advice of the most excellent Josh Cubillo from UoM) that our Acknowledgements will be in the first language of each student. Today's Acknowledgement was given in Arabic.
Two small changes which have significant impact.
