Tim Rowse is Professorial Fellow, Dean’s Unit, School of Humanities and Communication Arts, University of Western Sydney. Since the early 1980s, he has been studying the history of Indigenous Australian contact with settler colonists, and in recent years he has included Canada, the United States, and New Zealand histories. The foci of his research have included public policy (its rationale and effects), the quantification of the Indigenous presence in official statistics, Indigenous political thought, and Australian Indigenous autobiographies. In 2012, Aboriginal Studies Press published his Rethinking Social Justice: from ‘peoples’ to ‘populations’, and Routledge published a collection he edited with Lisa Ford, Between Indigenous and Settler Governance. He is working on a history of Australia’s relationship with Indigenous Australians from 1911 to the present.
