2018 scholarship recipient Michael Lucas shares how the skills he gained help his work in Indigenous anthropology.
On-screen text: Michael Lucas, 2018 scholarship recipient, offers some advice to anyone considering applying for the scholarship.
The mediation and dispute resolution skills have been useful personally and in the workplace. In my background working in Indigenous anthropology, conflict and negotiation skills are really important to apply between when we’re looking at traditional owner groups, but also with organisations and private entities as they interact with the law that is native title or other Indigenous claims and land use agreements.
For me, the ability to apply that in a diverse setting was really important.

2018 scholarship recipient Nikola Core shares some words of encouragement to those thinking of applying.
On-screen text: Nikola Core, 2018 scholarship recipient, offers some advice to anyone considering applying for the scholarship.
The scholarship itself was incredibly rewarding to receive and also a very humbling experience for me personally. I think that if you’re considering a career in mediation or even just want to learn a little bit more about conflict resolution, go for it, apply, you will not regret it.
