How can studying expeditions recast the history of colonisation? In this episode, historian Professor Martin Thomas recounts the dynamics of mutual discovery in the last gasp of imperial exploration in Australia’s Arnhem Land in the 1940s. The American expeditioners considered themselves the clever men, but how did Aboriginal leaders express their expertise, artistry and spirituality? After the blows of dispossession and the theft of human remains, how can we think more deeply about the obligations and meanings of reconciliation?
