Quandamooka Aboriginal women on the colonial frontier in the nineteenth century

该项目旨在通过揭示土著妇女机构超越通常的劳动和性剥削主题，对澳大利亚殖民边境上的性别和种族问题产生新的见解。历史记录经常将土著妇女描绘成受害者，这影响了自尊，造成了健康状况不佳和社会疏远。这个项目将通过考察19世纪昆士兰州莫里顿湾Quandamooka妇女在自己的土地上的日常和公开表演来研究土著妇女如何抵抗和谈判殖民。该项目旨在造福土著妇女的健康和福祉。

This project aims to produce new insights about gender and race on the colonial frontier in Australia through revealing Aboriginal women's agency beyond the usual themes of labour and sexual exploitation. The historical record has too often represented Aboriginal women as victims, which has affected self-esteem and caused poor health and social alienation. This project will research how Aboriginal women resisted and negotiated with colonisation by examining the everyday and public performances of Quandamooka women on their own lands, Moreton Bay, Queensland, in the nineteenth century. The project aims to benefit the health and well-being of Aboriginal women.
