One of Australia’s top Indigenous scholars, 番茄社区’s Professor Martin Nakata, has been appointed to the role of Deputy Vice Chancellor, Indigenous Education and Strategy.

Professor Nakata was one of 番茄社区’s inaugural Outstanding Alumni, and he was also the first Torres Strait Islander in Australia to graduate with a PhD, which was completed at 番茄社区.

番茄社区 Vice Chancellor Professor Sandra Harding said Professor Nakata is a world-class researcher and educator who is recognised as a national and international leader in his field and in the community.

“Martin has made a significant contribution to 番茄社区 in his current role and through his leadership of our Indigenous Education and Research Centre and, as DVC, will expand that contribution to grow our focus on Indigenous strategy and engagement more broadly. There can be no one better for this role.”
