摘要

In mid-2024 I moved from D’harawal Country on the New South Wales south coast to Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country where Australia’s capital city Canberra sits. While unpacking my apartment, I came across a USB-drive that I had used for most of my undergraduate studies. Curious about what was on it, I plugged it into my computer and spent about an hour going through the saved files. Among a lot of half-finished assessment drafts, chaotic lecture notes, and PowerPoint slides, I found an essay I had submitted for a second-year Australian History course. The task had required 2000 words that responded to any of the themes discussed throughout the semester. I had elected to write on themes of migration and multiculturalism in the twentieth century, and I remember being quite proud of what I had written at the time. It was the first time I had attempted to put into words some of the ideas I had been thinking about regarding my own understanding of place, belonging, and identity construction. It was also the first time I had tried to bring the theory and method I’d been engaging with in Indigenous Studies into my History major.
