Quotes from Social Science Interns

Winter 2008
e

"These six weeks have given me a space to think about what future direction I want to head in, and being in the office has shown me what interests me in terms of work. This sort of clarity is great for me (especially being 5 years into a degree!) so for that I am grateful for being able to be part of the Aurora Project. Being able to move around at NTSCORP was also incredibly useful in helping me work out what area of study I want to pursue in the future."

e "I found the most rewarding aspect of the placement the interraction with such a diverse array of people. The camp at Dugalanji Aboriginal Corporation was a melting pot of perspectives on native title and cultural heritage management. I would highly recommend the Aurora Native Title Internship Program to anyone with a genuine interest in native title and Indigenous affairs."
e "Going up to MGCorp in Kununurra with few expectations or specific knowledge of what I would be involved with up there, or who I would meet, my expectations were exceeded by how involved I became. From everyone I met there was something new to learn, depending on their area of expertise or life experiences. The best aspects of my internship were being immersed in the work and in a place completely outside of uni studies, and having to be fully involved. This hands-on approach made learning the practical workings of property and corporations law very clear and approachable. Also, working with an Aboriginal Corporation meant that the community and the corporation were one large group."
