Generative and 'Ground-Up' Research in Aboriginal Australia

How might we go about collaborative research that doesn't simply come up with a report or a published paper, but results in changed practices in the areas of our concern? How do we envision and implement a generative methodology in front line research? Working with theory from the academic and Aboriginal worlds, I present examples of research with people working at the front line in various contexts, and reflect upon the role of the researcher in these areas of engagement.
