Aboriginal Poverty: What's social capital got to do with it? 


Julie Lahn  - Postdoctoral Fellow, Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy
Research, CAEPR 

Abstract: In this seminar I present some initial findings from a project
entitled, 'The Social Context of Indigenous Poverty'. The research involved
a series of interviews with Aboriginal people in urban and rural SE
Australia on issues of poverty, social capital and social exclusion. In the
paper I draw together Aboriginal perspectives on the meaning of poverty to
reflect on the relevance of social capital concepts for understanding
Aboriginal economic disadvantage. 

When? Wednesdays 12.30 to 2.00pm, unless otherwise noted. 

Where? Humanities Conference Room, First Floor, A.D. Hope Bldg #14 (opposite
Chifley Library), 
The Australian National University, Canberra.
