01.01.2022 Great PhD scholarship opportunity as part of the Queesnland Atlas of Religion project: Aboriginal Christianity in Queensland: a comparative perspective. This anthropological or historical project will consider Indigenous responses to Christian evangelisation/missionary activity in Queensland. It will trace themes such as the significance of particular Christian traditions in relation to conversion experiences, inter-generational patterns of religious activity and church polit...ics, the significance of church membership as an aspect of Aboriginal identity, the relationship between Christianity and Indigenous religion, and the politics of Christianity in Indigenous Australia including land use and tenure. The specific regional and religious topic focus for the project will be determined by the successful candidate in consultation with their advisors. This scholarship is open to all applicants, but Indigenous researchers are especially encouraged to apply and may qualify for additional funding support equivalent to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research Scholarships.
