The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s Research and Academic department will be hosting a 3-day gathering this October which will bring together community and academic researchers to share their experiences, challenges and successes of research and work related to missing children and unmarked burials. The gathering will be embedded in ceremony, include formal opportunities for presenters to share their research and experiences and create space for attendees to engage in dialogue. It will also provide an opportunity to develop key discussion papers that will assist in moving academic, policy and research agendas forward.
