Diverse language and culture practices are at work in and around the business of Language Centers: work to fulfil obligations to kin and country that are at least partially invisible to outsiders, recognition of who are experts and the nature of different expertise, language documentation and preservation, work under contract, and more. There are diverse forms of accountability to differently situated participants, various forms of investment, and different values, agendas, aspirations, priorities, and timelines. How do we understand, make visible and support healthy investments and generative exchanges? The PhD student will undertake field research in one or more Top End Language Centers as negotiated by supervisors, Indigenous Language workers and owners, and Language Centre management staff. Depending on the disciplinary background of the student, the project could involve ethnographic and/ or linguistic work with images and words in quantitative-qualitative multi-and transdisciplinary research.  \nScholarship Details  \nThe successful applicant will receive a CDU Domestic Excellence Scholarship (CDUDES) (tax-exempt and indexed annually) , an RTP Fee Offset for the tuition fees and generous relocation allowances.
