Publications.
CHRG History and Policy Research Fellow Mia Martin Hobbs has published an article in The Conversation. Drawing on her doctoral research with Australian and American war veterans who returned to Vietnam after the war, Mia argues that Spike Lee’s film, Da 5 Bloods, misrepresents the Vietnamese as resentful towards returning veterans.
Mia Martin Hobbs has a forthcoming book publication with Cambridge University Press. Return to Vietnam: An Oral History of American and Australian Veterans’ Journeys will be published in 2021.
Associate Professor Cassandra Atherton is a guest poet at Poetry on the Move in 2020-21. She recorded a poem for the Well Known Corners feature on their website.
Roy Hay has recently written a piece which appeared in The Footy Almanac, titled ‘What happened next and what didn’t: Victorian Aboriginal involvement in Australian Football in the 21st Century’.
In the media.
Dr Jason Gibson was interviewed for a documentary film concerning the earliest anthropological description of an Aboriginal initiation ceremony. The film is being produced with members of the Yuin Aboriginal community and the Gulaga dancers, on the south coast of New South Wales.
