Description

An Aboriginal History of Western Australia. The project will undertake ground-breaking research on innovative approaches to Aboriginal history, combining truth-telling imperatives with restorying techniques in order to produce an Indigenous-centred, future-oriented, new general Aboriginal history of Western Australia in time for the state Bicentenary. This project will create a scholastically rigorous, systematic and culturally appropriate historical resource for communities, students, researchers, and the general public. It will be able to serve as a model for future general histories of Aboriginal people seeking to truly embrace Indigenous perspectives.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 4501 - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture, Language and History. Lead: A/Prof Shino Konishi
