Realizing critical theory in practice: two recent collaborations
Wednesday 25 September 13:00 until 15:00
Arts C333
Speaker: Julie Evans (Melbourne)
Part of the series: Geography Research Seminars: Beyond the Fringe
Abstract
This paper reflects on two recent Australian-based research projects that bring critical theory on modern European expansion, settler colonialism, and the conduct of lawful relations before a broader audience. Funded by the Australian Research Council, these collaborative, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral endeavours direct attention to the structural injustices that helped constitute settler societies through authorising the initial dispossession of Indigenous peoples and the subsequent regimes of management and control that persistently work to deny their sovereignty and entrench settler privilege.
