This is a ground-breaking PhD topic to decolonise historical research on Tasmanian Aboriginal populations and health profiles at the time of colonial invasion. A draft book has been written; however, it is missing an Indigenous voice, perspective, methodology and theory that pays tribute to Tasmanian Aboriginal peoples..

Applications are currently open to Indigenous applicants.
