Author Description

Previous research has found a positive relationship between participation in cultural production and an Indigenous person's subjective emotional wellbeing. Using data from the 2014-15 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, this paper looks at participation rates in arts and culture and the relationship between arts and cultural participation and wellbeing and other socioeconomic outcomes - such as educational engagement, civic engagement, and being in contact with family. The broader literature and methodological issues are also discussed.
