'We present our third issue of Australian Historical Studies for 2019. Here we bring together a cluster of articles exploring Aboriginal history, together with exciting new work on the Rum Rebellion and, following an emerging tradition in the journal, an important contemporary exploration of the history profession. The first article, by Shino Konishi, reflects on the ramifications of Patrick Wolfe's exposition of settler colonialism on Indigenous studies. Konishi explains how recent scholarship has moved past the logic of elimination to find more nuanced, subtle and productive ways to explore Indigenous resistance. She reflects on how this shift has altered her practice as an Indigenous woman and a historian of Aboriginal–settler encounter.' (Editorial introduction)
