BiographyHistory

'Belinda Russon is the Chief Executive Officer of Tranby National Indigenous Adult Education and Training. She has been associated with Tranby since 2004, becoming the Program Manager of the National Indigenous Legal Advocacy Program and later, in 2013, the Chief Executive Officer of Tranby. She has extensive research experience in Indigenous legal, human rights and social justice issues as well as long managerial experience in Indigenous organisations. She holds a Masters in Law (Human Rights and Social Justice) as well as a Doctorate of Juridical Science (investigating domestic violence outcomes for Aboriginal women). In addition to her role of CEO, Belinda is a qualified solicitor with over 15 years’ experience in the community justice sector and continues to be actively involved in Aboriginal community life. A Churchill Fellowship in 2013 enabled Belinda to travel to Norway, Canada and the USA to examine innovative and holistic approaches to Indigenous education. A Fulbright Scholarship in 2017 allowed Belinda to evaluate the benefits of student leadership and mentoring programs in American colleges, to bring back and apply that knowledge to engaging and retaining Indigenous learners in the Australian Vocational and Training sector.'(Archives and Manuscripts Volume 47, 2019 - Issue 1)
