Negotiated Encounters: Native peoples and cross cultural engagements in the early Australian and New Zealand maritime enterprises 1790-1850.

《协商的邂逅》将对澳大利亚和新西兰的殖民历史进行新的描述和解读。主要关注的是早期海豹和捕鲸行业的种族关系和跨文化接触。该项目的一个关键内容将是探讨共同历史的概念以及在殖民时期土著和非土著之间如何形成关系。这个项目将有助于当代关于历史的重要性、跨塔斯曼民族认同和过去的意义的辩论。

"Negotiated Encounters" will provide new accounts and interpretations of Australian and New Zealand colonial history. The main focus is on the race relations and cross-cultural encounters in the early maritime industries of sealing and whaling. A key element of the project will be an exploration of the notion of shared history and how relationships form(ed) between Indigenous and non-Indigenous in the colonial period. This project will contribute to contemporary debates on the importance of history, trans-Tasman National identity and the meaning of the past.
