Curr. viii Acknowledgments This book began its life as a doctoral thesis in the School of Historical Studies at the University of Melbourne. I was extremely fortunate to be supervised by Patricia Grimshaw; her dedication to mentoring is renowned and her support, advice and encouragement were crucially important. My two associate supervisors – the late David Philips, and Ann Genovese from the Faculty of Law – also deserve particular thanks. I am indebted to the many other staff members and fellow students who helped shape the project with their comments and support, including Joanna Cruickshank, Fiona Davis, Penny Edmonds, Julie Evans, Don Garden, Felicity Jensz, Rob McArthur, Claire McClisky, Erica Millar, Marg Stephens, Shurlee Swain, Patrick Wolfe and Bart Ziino. My more recent colleagues in the School of History, Research School of Social Sciences, The Australian National University, provided a highly stimulating intellectual environment that helped me transform my thesis into a book. The school is home to both the National Centre of Biography and the Australian Centre for Indigenous History, both leading centres in disciplines so closely associated with my topic. Particular thanks must go to Nicholas Brown, Karen Fox, Paul Irish, Rani Kerin, Shino Konishi, Ann McGrath, Melanie Nolan, Maria Nugent and Martin Thomas. I received valuable assistance from the staff of numerous research libraries, including the State Library of Victoria, the State Library of New South Wales, the National Library of Australia, the British Library, the Baillieu Library, and the ANU Library. I also owe a debt to the Public Record Office of Victoria, the National Archives of Australia, the Royal Historical Society of Victoria, and the National Archives of the UK. I thank warmly Wayne Atkinson, a Yorta Yorta elder, and playwright Andrea James, both of whom generously offered their views on the significance of Edward Curr to their people. I was also privileged to meet several of Curr’s descendants, who shared their thoughts and their family archive, including Pamela Curr, Ian and Elinor Curr, and Andrew and Belinda Curr. To the board of Aboriginal History, and in particular to the monographs editor Rani Kerin, I offer my sincere thanks for recognising the value of my work and agreeing to publish it. Thank you also to the reviewers of my manuscript, Ann Curthoys and Russell McGregor, whose insightful comments were crucial to the completion of the book. Rebecca Bennett and Erica Millar did a wonderful job proofreading my thesis, and I thank Geoff Hunt for his thorough work on the book manuscript. For ix Edward M . Curr and the Tide of History assistance with images I am indebted to the various institutions acknowledged in the text, to Christine Fernon and Maxim Korolev, and to Peter Johnson, who designed the maps. For cover design and production I am grateful to the staff of ANU E Press, particularly Lorena Kanellopoulos and Duncan Beard. Publication of this book was also supported by a subsidy from The Australian National University. My family and friends have been unerringly supportive of this project over a long period, particularly my parents, Cate and Clem Furphy, but none more so than my wife, Rebecca, to whom I offer my most profound thanks.

  • Upper Riccarton Cemetery 2007 1
    St Peter’s, Upper Riccarton, is the graveyard of owners and trainers of the great horses of the racing and trotting worlds. People buried here have been in charge of horses which have won the A. J. C. Derby, the V.R.C. Derby, the Oaks, Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, Auckland Cup (both codes), New Zealand Cup (both codes) and Wellington Cup. Area 1 Row A Robert John Witty. Robert John Witty (‘Peter’ to his friends) was born in Nelson in 1913 and attended Christchurch Boys’ High School, College House and Canterbury College. Ordained priest in 1940, he was Vicar of New Brighton, St. Luke’s and Lyttelton. He reached the position of Archdeacon. Director of the British Sailors’ Society from 1945 till his death, he was, in 1976, awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for his work with seamen. Unofficial exorcist of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, Witty did not look for customers; rather they found him. He said of one Catholic lady: “Her priest put her on to me; they have a habit of doing that”. Problems included poltergeists, shuffling sounds, knockings, tapping, steps tramping up and down stairways and corridors, pictures turning to face the wall, cold patches of air and draughts. Witty heard the ringing of Victorian bells - which no longer existed - in the hallway of St. Luke’s vicarage. He thought that the bells were rung by the shade of the Rev. Arthur Lingard who came home to die at the vicarage then occupied by his parents, Eleanor and Archdeacon Edward Atherton Lingard. In fact, Arthur was moved to Miss Stronach’s private hospital where he died on 23 December 1899.

  • Position Description
    Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative Ltd. POSITION DESCRIPTION Disability Support and Domestic Assistance Workers Position Details Manager Disability Services Coordinator Direct Reports Nil Hours Casual hours Monday – Sunday. Some overnight stays and shift hours Location Mackey Street, North Geelong, with frequent travel to the surrounding area. Organisation The name Wathaurong (Wadda-Wurrung) is a recognised tribe (community) which consisted of some 25 clans (family groups) that formed part of the Kulin Nation of Aboriginal people. The traditional boundaries of the Wathaurong people span the coastline from the Werribee River to Lorne peninsula and traverse inland in a north westerly direction towards Ballarat. The Wathaurong people have lived within these regions for more than 25,000 years. As custodians of the Wathaurong lands, we are committed to working together to provide a secure future for our community by upholding the dignity of our ancestors; respecting our Elders and instilling a sense of cultural pride and belonging for our children and children’s children. The Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative Ltd was formed by the community in 1978 and registered in 1980, to support the social, economic, and cultural development of Aboriginal people, particularly within the Geelong and surrounding areas. The Co-operative provides a range of services including; family and community services, support to young people, justice support services; cultural heritage services, and health services. From time to time the organisation also undertakes special projects and economic development opportunities. The Co-operative expanded to include a Community Controlled Health Service, which contributes toward addressing the inequality in health status of Aboriginal people. The Wathaurong Health Service supports the general wellbeing of Aboriginal people by providing holistic health care with clinical and primary care services as well as health promoting activities.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

In recent public pedagogy discourse Biesta (2014) puts forth three forms of public pedagogy. These three forms of publicness are; pedagogy for the public; pedagogy of the public; and pedagogy in the in- terests of publicness. What Biesta offers with these views of pedagogy in the public sphere, is an understand of the ways we teach and learn in public places, and how that pedagogy is performed. In particular a pedagogy in the interest of publicness sees grassroots commu- nity led pedagogy that acts in the interest of publicness. This provides a lens to examine how pedagogy and knowledge is held in public spaces. When thinking about the public, Savage (2014) contributes by directing our thinking about how teaching and learning lives in the public sphere. Savage’s idea of the concrete public views the public space as being a spatially bound site, ‘such as urban streetscapes or housing estates’ (p.
