On Wednesday 31 August the @GriffithInclusiveFutures Dignity Project team had the pleasure of travelling to Sydney, as one of 45 finalists across 14 categories for the prestigious Australian Museum Eureka Prizes 2022.
The Dignity Project team of 6 were finalists in the Department of Industry, Science, and Resources Eureka Prize for Innovation in Citizen Science. The team includes: Kelsey Chapman (Project Lead and PhD Candidate), Professor Elizabeth Kendall, Angel Dixon OAM, A/Prof. Carolyn Ehrlich, Jo Kek-Pamenter and Kevin Cocks AM D.Univ.
The Innovation in Citizen Science prize is awarded for demonstrated excellence in citizen science practice, through innovative research and community engagement project. The Dignity Project is a research and digital engagement platform built on the foundation of “nothing about us without us” a hallmark of the disability rights movement. The platform brings together people with disability in a supported and safe environment to share stories that would otherwise remain unheard. Researchers and citizen scientists with disability then work together to understand the dignity experience in interaction with mainstream services and systems, to break down barriers to improve dignity, accessibility and inclusion.
A very special thank you to all of the citizen scientists and Dignity Platform members who have shared your stories vulnerably and transparently and make the Dignity Project what it is. We would also like to thank our partners and supporters: the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), Griffith University, Metro South Hospital and Health Service, and the Queensland Office of the Chief Scientist.
