Three Generations Of Aboriginal Australian Women
Abstract
As in most countries, the study of families in Australia runs the gamut from theoretical analyses to applied and evaluative research. Lacking the strong influence of home economics that is prevalent in American agricultural universities and the strong private philanthropy which funds much of family research in other societies, Australian family research has had strong links with governmental social policies and programs. This paper reviews the development of family research and theory in Australia focusing on the most prevalent research topics and policy priorities.

By incorporating this report, we demonstrate the State of Family Project’s commitment to comprehensiveness, historical awareness, and the pursuit of knowledge that benefits families and communities.
