Georgiana Molloy, Life Writing and Environment in 1830s Western Australia

这个项目旨在使用生态传记，一种详细描述人与环境关系的生活写作模式，以促使重新思考定居者殖民地中人类与非人类之间的关系。通过对19世纪30年代西澳大利亚西南部环境的档案和当代写作的分析，它旨在阐明植物学家Georgiana Molloy，Noongar人和植物之间的相互作用。由此产生的专着将被设计来展示科学和人文的综合如何能够创造性地应对环境恶化。该项目还打算为最近关于土著机构和土地管理做法的奖学金作出贡献。

This project aims to use ecobiography, a mode of life-writing that details the relationship of a person with their environment, to prompt a reconsideration of the anthropocentric relationship between humans and non-humans in a settler colony. Through analysis of archival and contemporary writing on the environment of 1830s south-west Western Australia, it aims to illuminate interactions between botanist Georgiana Molloy, the Noongar people and plants. The resulting monograph will be designed to demonstrate how syntheses of the sciences and humanities can respond creatively to environmental deterioration. The project also intends to contribute to recent scholarship on Aboriginal agency and land management practices.
