Motivation and emotion/About/Acknowledgement of country
Acknowledgement of country
Yuma (Ngunnawal for hello).
I acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as Traditional Custodians of the land on which the Canberra Bruce campus stands. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present, and to their enduring culture and contribution to Canberra and the region.
I also acknowledge other Indigenous peoples who maintain a cultural connection with this land.
First Nations peoples hold deep relationships with Country—including with plants, animals, and natural systems—knowledges we need as we face the challenges of living sustainably in an era of human-induced climate change.
A warm welcome to all Indigenous students—we are committed to fostering a culturally safe and supportive learning environment for you.
Welcome also to international students, especially those newly arrived on exchange. I encourage everyone to connect with and support our foreign friends as they navigate a new country and culture.
To students who have travelled from interstate or changed universities—welcome to Canberra and to the UC community.
And to everyone else, in all your diversity: whoever you are, you are welcome and belong here.
Let's engage with openness, share ideas, and support one another as we explore the psychological science of motivation and emotion.
