Coral Bell School Inaugural Annual Lecture on Indigenous Diplomacy
Channel: ANU TV
Date: 2023-03-08

Indigenous peoples have a long history of conducting international diplomacy, from their relations with one another across the continent for tens of millennia, their engagement with peoples outside Australia, and their contributions to the current international political system.

What makes Aboriginal Australian international relations unique? Why in modern Australia are such approaches and worldviews important? And what can we learn from such unique ways of knowing, being, and doing?

Such questions have rarely been explored by International Relations Scholarship. In the inaugural Coral Bell School Annual Lecture on Indigenous Diplomacy, Dr Mary Graham and Associate Professor Morgan Brigg will explore these issues in a wide-ranging discussion on Aboriginal Australian political ordering and relationality in international politics.
