Domestic Subversions: maternalism and cross-cultural histories

该项目将通过培养一种共同的历史感，并提高公众对澳大利亚种族关系历史复杂性的认识，来协助和解进程。它将弥补澳大利亚知识和文学方面的巨大差距。土著家庭佣工的历史及其与澳大利亚白人雇主的关系知之甚少，尽管人们越来越认识到家政服务在土著儿童驱逐政策中的重要性。该项目还将帮助在性别、种族和殖民主义研究的领先国际研究倡议的前沿建立澳大利亚历史奖学金。

This project will assist in the processes of reconciliation, by fostering a sense of a shared history, and increasing public awareness of the complexity of race relations histories in Australia. It will redress a significant gap in Australian knowledge and literature. Very little is known about the history of Aboriginal domestic workers and their relationships with their white employers in Australia, despite growing awareness of the significance of domestic service in Aboriginal child removal policies. The project will also assist in establishing Australian historical scholarship at the forefront of leading international research initiatives in gender, race and colonialism studies.
