By considering the settlement of Australia as a process within an interconnected global empire the project will increase understanding of our beginnings and inject Australian experience into international scholarship. It will increase our understanding of Africa, 'the world's largest unstable region', which is peculiarly absent from the Australian consciousness. Paul Lovejoy, our international PI, is a world leader in African history, and his involvement in this initiative will focus the attention of the international African historical community on Australia. The project will also provide an inclusive historical context to assist the incorporation of a large refugee cohort from Sierra Leone.

通过将澳大利亚的定居视为一个相互关联的全球帝国内的一个过程，该项目将增加对我们起点的了解，并将澳大利亚的经验注入国际学术研究。这将增加我们对非洲的了解，非洲是“世界上最大的不稳定地区”，这是澳大利亚人的意识中特别缺乏的。保罗·洛夫乔伊，我们的国际PI，是非洲历史的世界领导者，他对这一倡议的参与将使国际非洲历史界的注意力集中在澳大利亚。该项目还将提供包容各方的历史背景，以协助接纳来自塞拉利昂的大批难民。
