Two PhD Scholarships, Global Encounters and First Nations Peoples Laureate Program 

The Global Encounters & First Nations People: 1000 Years of Australian History project radically shifts Australia’s historical awareness by concentrating on the dynamic history of encounter between First Nations peoples and ‘outsiders’ over the millennium. Drawing on rich European and Southeast Asian archives comprised over 400 years of records, it will offer an important counter narrative on multiple sites of interaction. With a methodology designed to profile Indigenous agency, the project will demonstrate how ‘salt-water people' responded to intrusions into their territory from sea voyagers from Europe and Southeast Asia. The eighteenth-century British arrival will be placed into context of a global tradition of dynamic interaction and transaction with a deep history of at least 1000 years.
