This document reflects upon the process which [the author’s] small research team in Central Australia developed in order to break with the historical pattern of unequal exchange between research institutions and the Aboriginal communities they study. The research methodology combined conventional social research with techniques borrowed from the fields of community organising and popular education. After two years, clear benefits had begun to emerge in terms of increased community capacity to direct and control research. This paper aims to ensure that the lessons learned from this experience inform future attempts within and beyond the [Cooperative Research Centre for Aboriginal and Tropical Health] CRCATH to institutionalise greater Aboriginal community control over education and health research.
