Launches at the Library – Näku Dhäruk The Bark Petitions and Enlightened Aboriginal Futures

Join us for the next Launches at the Library event to celebrate the publication of Näku Dhäruk The Bark Petitions and Enlightened Aboriginal Futures

Join us for the final Launches @ the Library event of the year to celebrate two remarkable new works of history from La Trobe authors: Enlightened Aboriginal Futures by Barry Judd (UM) and Katherine Elllinghaus (LTU) and Näku Dhäruk The Bark Petitions by Clare Wright.

Both books explore issues of settler-colonialism, missionary history, race and religion, cultural and political history, sovereignty, consultation and cross-cultural interaction.  Katherine, Barry and Clare will be in conversation with Professor Julie Andrews, Academic Director, Indigenous Research.


School Locker will have the two new titles, Sandhill Girl by Lorna Wilson (sister-publication to Enlightened Aboriginal Futures), and other LTU author titles available for purchase.
