Centre activities focus on collaborative transdisciplinary research projects, special events (for example research forums, symposia, seminars), training workshops and short courses, and performances and exhibitions as they relate to Human and Environment Interactions.

Katitjin Bidi

To restore relations with people and place, in 2022 the Centre established Katitjin Bidi – an experimental and emerging methodological project that engages in On Country activities based on processes that are reciprocal, relational, restorative and responsive, to demonstrate being-by-doing Indigenous-supported research. Katitjin Bidi contributes to all of the CPPP’s research.

Katitjin Bidi means “knowledge pathway” in Noongar – the language of the Noongar peoples of Southwestern Australia.

Programs of Research

The CPPP has three additional programs of research that play different, yet complementary roles towards reconnecting people, ecosystems and place-based knowledges for universal well-being.
