This study enhances our understanding of the foundations and representative functions of Australian democratic institutions, especially as they concern Indigenous-settler-missionary-imperial relationships. In drawing out the connections between two major questions for Australian history and modern society - democracy and Indigenous dispossession - the project will contribute deeper historical knowledge to current public debate about Indigenous policy past and present. It will also illuminate the importance of understanding Australian history in broad transcolonial and transnational contexts and enhance the contribution of Australian historians to imperial, missionary, and comparative settler-society histories.

这项研究增强了我们对澳大利亚民主制度的基础和代表性功能的理解，特别是当它们涉及土著定居者传教士帝国关系时。通过找出澳大利亚历史和现代社会的两个主要问题--民主和原住民剥夺--之间的联系，该项目将为当前有关过去和现在原住民政策的公众辩论提供更深入的历史知识。它还将阐明在广泛的跨殖民和跨国背景下理解澳大利亚历史的重要性，并提高澳大利亚历史学家对帝国，传教士和比较定居者社会历史的贡献。
