Colonial History, Contemporary Justice

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Indigenous scholars have long argued that violence is embedded in colonialism, which impacts and manifests in the everyday lives of Indigenous people today in Australia. This project aims to conceptualise the connection between colonial history and contemporary justice matters in Australia by investigating violence and deaths that have occurred through encounters with police or agents of the state. By deploying an innovative methodology of historical tracing, this project will generate new knowledge by identifying patterns of violence and historicising contemporary justice matters, to bring new theorising of colonial violence and inform social justice.
