Funded Activity Summary

Remaking Wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin, 1800 to the Present. Focusing on four case study sites, this project aims to provide in-depth histories of key Australian wetlands with a particular focus on the changing and diverse uses, knowledge and values that have shaped these places. The Murray–Darling Basin is one of the key sites in which Australia’s agricultural, environmental and social future is taking shape, often through drawn-out process of contestation. Within this vast area, wetlands stand out as places rich in resources as well as in biodiversity. The project aims to contextualise competing visions for the future, inform current management, develop novel approaches to authority and knowledge, and nurture exciting new directions in environmental history and the humanities.
