DNA Testing and Identities in Family History Research
In the preceding decades, rapid technological advancements and increasing democratisation of historical records have been coupled with scientific data from DNA testing, which has revolutionised the family history industry. Going beyond the traditional archives and databases, DNA profiles present nuanced confirmations, puzzles, and contradictions generated through this biological lens.

From the Barrel of the Gun: Policy Incursions, Land, and Aboriginal Peoples in Australia
This paper focuses on the enduring traces of colonialism within the Australian nation-state and the ongoing challenges to Aboriginal peoples' rights, especially land rights. We try to make sense of contemporary federal government and New South Wales state, or provincial, government policy changes which connect land use, access and ownership to social welfare, and which target Aboriginal peoples in remote, or outback, areas and the inner city. We …
In the shadows of the mission: Education policy, urban space, and the ‘colonial present’ in Sydney
This paper is concerned with enduring histories and micro‐geographies of the (post)colonial Australian nation, played out through contemporary connections between Aboriginality, inner Sydney and educational policy change. This paper traces the ‘racialization’ of space and place in the Sydney inner city suburb of Redfern, including the Aboriginal‐‘owned’ residential area commonly known as the Block; it then outlines aspects of an educational polic…
Reading History Curriculum as Postcolonial Text: Towards a Curricular Response to the History Wars in Australia and Beyond

The history wars. Melbourne, Australia: Melbourne University Press. [Google Scholar]). The central debate in the history wars is over the representation of the colonization of Australia. Because History curriculum serves as an apparatus for the social (re)production…
