What the paper says

Much has been written on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander law students’ experiences in the classroom. Less has been written on their experiences in extracurricular programs. We undertook 17 interviews with staff, students and partners who work within and alongside a Centre that facilitates student and staff pro bono work. The aim of the research was to investigate what cultural safety means and how culturally safe practices could be embedded in pro bono projects. We found that what was needed was genuine, meaningful engagement with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations. Participants said that such engagement should involve deep listening, truth-telling, and relationships built on mutual respect and trust. They said that cultural safety is not something to be ‘achieved’, but rather something to be consistently and continually worked towards in a manner that benefits people of all races and cultural backgrounds
