A response, based on my published research, to the Closing the Gap in Indigenous Australian Disadvantage Policy.
This activity is complex because it involves the collection, explanation, interpretation, and presentation of diverse and contested theoretical ideas. It is complex because it translates theoretically difficult concepts into easily understandable terms for a non-specialist audience and applies them to questions of contemporary public policy. It is complex because it draws on ideas developed through my research published over several years. This means that time and effort cannot be quantified with precision but that it is, nevertheless, substantial. The diversity of end-users may be assumed from the publisher's international standing. The engagement plans and briefings occurred with the commissioning editor.
