Moving into this year slowly & with care for all our communities in such challenging times. With that in mind we are grateful to continue to work across research, practice & teaching spaces. We are committed to listening, reflecting & sharing more inclusively along the way🔥💦🌈

“We spend 80% of our time fighting for freedoms and 20% of our time justifying them. We must address the unceded sovereignty in this country. Then we will see things happen around inequities” Prof Uncle Bob Morgan

What happens when you research, write, design, publish your own book? Callum Clayton Dixon @ambeyang did just that & won NSW Community & Regional History Prize Surviving New England: A History of Aboriginal Resistance & Resilience Through the First 40 Years of Colonial Apocalypse
“This award is an acknowledgement of their story, their struggle, their fierce resistance... It is recognition of the importance of truth telling, which I believe is absolutely critical to advancing genuine reconciliation,” said @Ambeyang. #NSWPHA #HistoryWeek2020

Can a non-Indigenous person have expertise on Indigenous knowledges? Short answer, no. Indigenous knowledges have been created over 65,000+ years within Aboriginal communities. It’s our Noongar kaartidijin, our Anangu tjukurpa, etc, that is sacred & belongs to us.

Where racism is permitted it becomes accepted. We won’t accept racism of any form at UTS. But it's all of our responsibility to actively combat it. We know we can do better. We can all do better. Racism asks for your silence. Anti-racism asks for your voice. Call it out.

"The names of various creeks, streets, parks, and pastoral properties across the Tableland hark back to New England’s violent colonial origins. In this unprecedented time of truth-telling, is taking down these symbols of past injustices enough?" bit.ly/33aQJNO
