The presenters, who are all located at Edith Cowan University, are working on a major Strategic Partnership research project that is a collaboration between the Department of Education, Catholic Education Commission and Independent Aboriginal Schools with matching funding from the Australian Research Council.

The project is examining the effectiveness of teaching strategies to counteract the influence of conductive hearing loss on Indigenous students with research sites in the metropolitan area, the Kimberley and Goldfields.

Complex issues of gaining entry, collecting valid data and reporting are involved. Sociopolitical issues also are involved in keeping the research on track.
