15.01.2022 As professional historians, we understand the contested nature of history and our role in researching, recording, and writing about the past in an ethical and balanced way. We are also aware of the myriad and often subtle ways the past shapes contemporary society. We all have a role to play in educating ourselves about race and how it influences the work we do. The list of resources presented on our page is curated to assist professional historians who are keen to learn more ...about Australia’s Indigenous past and its contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Professor Anita Heiss has also shared a list of starting points for those "looking for reading or viewing ideas to help get through the days before and after, and to assist with any difficult conversations." https://anitaheiss.wordpress.com//january-26-what-you-can/ PHA Victoria Tasmania reading list: https://www.phavic.org.au/reading-about-racism
