Place, pastoralism and Indigenous experience on Cape York Peninsula: a critical exploration of one hundred years of anthropological data collection. Using anthropological and archaeological techniques, this project addresses conceptualisations of place on Cape York Peninsula over the last hundred years, with particular reference to the pastoral industry. It will result in renewed understandings of the importance of place in cross-cultural experience in northern Australia.
The Queen gave us the land: Aboriginal people's histories and memories of Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria was an important figure for Aboriginal people during her reign from 1837 to 1901 and became a powerful symbol in their oral traditions. By examining these histories and memories, the study illuminates Aboriginal people's changing ideas about and relationship to the British Crown.
More than family history: race, gender and the Aboriginal family in Australian history. This project will explore Aboriginal family histories. Historical processes and complex interplays of race and gender within the colonial period across space and over time make for complex layering in diverse Aboriginal families. Research into Aboriginal family formation reveals a strong basis for identity and wellbeing through telling foundational stories within the narrative of the nation.
