How did Aboriginal Australians come to be treated as research subjects in the twentieth century? This project aims to examine six exemplary cases where Aboriginal communities became sites of medical investigation and scientific experiment. It is designed to explore different patterns of sympathy and exploitation, intimacy and objectivity, in the interactions of scientists and Aboriginal people. The sites range from Brewarrina to Hermannsburg, Palm Island and Groote Eylandt; the time period is from the 1910s through the 1990s. The research will endeavour to translate the history of Australian science into a series of Indigenous local histories. Such an approach is unprecedented and is expected to serve as a model for the study of the entanglements between science and Indigenous peoples.

澳大利亚原住民是如何在二十世纪被当作研究对象的？该项目旨在审查土著社区成为医学调查和科学实验场所的六个典型案例。它旨在探讨科学家与土著人民互动中的同情和剥削、亲密和客观的不同模式。这些地点从布雷瓦里纳到赫曼斯堡、棕榈岛和格鲁特埃兰德;时间段从1910年代到1990年代。这项研究将努力将澳大利亚科学史转化为一系列土著地方历史。这种方法是前所未有的，有望成为研究科学与土著人民之间关系的模式。
