In 2020 we saw a shift in the way Society views and engages with contested heritage and histories and as a result of that, we have been doing some internal reflection and work on addressing our own contested heritage as it relates to our Fellowship, collections and history. In June 2021 we held the first event in our Intertwined Histories series; Intertwined Histories: The Legacy of Slavery and Empire. The conference featured 6 short papers and a keynote speaker and addressed some of the issues of contested heritage and how it is represented within the sector. You can view all the papers on our YouTube channel here. Our second event a panel session focusing on the histories of the UK and Ireland held on 29 October is available on our YouTube channel here.
This series of lectures looks at the histories of slavery, colonialism, community and representation in Canada, Barbados, Jamaica, Barbuda, Australia and India. These talks will allow us to delve deeper into these issues and engage more on these very important topics.
This lecture looks at the material culture drivers of Indigenous inequality. Archaeologists agree that material inequities visually communicate and reinforce economic inequalities. This presentation investigates the role of material inequalities in promoting the social inclusion or exclusion of Indigenous Australians and, through this, in limiting or expanding efforts for social justice.
This event will be online only.
