I reviewed an excellent history of the University of Melbourne, Dhoombak Goobgoowana. Problem is, the settler colonialism it describes is not just in the past.
Thanks, Hannah. Great post and excellent book review. It is positive that Melbourne University has developed this project, as you say. The ANU has not even begun to face up to its history of deep complicity and involvement in the British nuclear tests on Australian soil, for instance. But, yes, it's easier to repudiate eugenics than to surrender income from arms manufacturers.
"dodgy partnerships" is an understatement - excellent review Hannah.
