Darren Garvey, a lecturer at Â鶹ֱ²¥ of Technology\u2019s Centre for Aboriginal Studies, has been short-listed for the 2008 Stanner Award.<\/p>\n

His book, Indigenous Identity in Contemporary Psychology \u2013 Dilemmas, Developments, Directions, is only one of three short-listed for the award which is presented by the Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS).<\/p>\n

It focuses on the development of Indigenous psychology in Australia and describes what contemporary psychology and psychologists might do to improve service delivery.<\/p>\n

Mr Garvey, one of Australia\u2019s first Indigenous male psychologists, said he was excited and humbled about being short-listed for this year\u2019s award.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honoured to be nominated for the award, especially because of the quality of the work that has previously won,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t quite believe it at first, but it is fantastic that my book is held in such high esteem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Garvey said he hoped to use royalties from book sales and the prize money, if he received it, to set up two awards for academically talented Indigenous students, one through CAS and the other through the Australian Psychological Society.<\/p>\n

Mr Garvey has a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from James Cook University and Master in Health Promotion from Curtin. He currently lectures in the Indigenous Australian Cultural Studies Program at CAS.<\/p>\n

The Stanner Award is for the best published contribution to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander studies that year.\u00a0 Contributions are assessed on a number of criteria including the importance of the work to advancing awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies and the ability to promote a greater awareness of Aboriginal and\/or Torres Strait Islander culture and identities.<\/p>\n
