Congratulations to Shino Konishi, Roland Burke and Jordy Silverstein on their successful ARC Future Fellowship applications

Congratulations to Shino Konishi, Roland Burke and Jordy Silverstein on their successful ARC Future Fellowship applications! Shino’s project, ‘An Aboriginal History of Western Australia’, will ‘undertake ground-breaking research on innovative approaches to Aboriginal history, combining truth-telling imperatives with restorying techniques in order to produce an Indigenous-centred, future-oriented, new general Aboriginal history of Western Australia in time for the state Bicentenary’. Roland’s project, ‘The History of Human Rights and Technological Change’, will ‘include a detailed historical account of preceding dislocations between rights and technology suitable for policymakers, as well as more public interest focused interventions in policy debates’. Jordy’s project, ‘Intergenerational Stories of Statelessness: An Oral History Project’, will ‘investigate and assess the repercussions within the Australian population for descendants of formerly stateless people’, producing ‘new knowledge about what citizenship and belonging can mean’. The AHA commends these projects, and warmly congratulates all of the deserving scholars who applied for the scheme.
