AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'At the opening of the Federal Parliament’s Senate Chamber in August 2022, Senator Pauline Hanson staged a demonstration against the Acknowledgement of Country, including a prepared media statement and a performative walkout from the chamber. The act of acknowledging Ngambri and Ngunnawal Country was, Hanson stated, not a traditional custom and was a “divisive” one. As a non-Indigenous academic in the tertiary sector, I want to explore how pedagogy can create a site to reflect this public conversation and take it much further than the media cycle.'

    'For many years, the week scheduled for the annual conference of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature (ASAL) has coincided with NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day of Commemoration) Week, the event that celebrates the histories and cultures, and achievements and struggles, of Australia’s First Nations peoples. In 2022, the coincidence of these events was particularly apposite given that the focus of ASAL’s conference was the thirtieth anniversary, and the ongoing legacies on Australian writing, of the 1992 High Court Mabo decision. Over five days in early July 2022, on the Sandy Bay campus of the University of Tasmania (UTas), a program of speakers and papers, including five keynote presentations from First Nations writers and critics, explored the scholarship and analysis of the enduring repercussions of the landmark court case on Australian literary and cultural imaginaries.'
