EDIT: EVENT CANCELLED Ultramarine Conversations at UQ Museum had to be cancelled due to the sudden, terribly premature passing of speaker, First Nations/Darub water scientist Mr T. Webb. He published his work with Kirsty Wissing on TSI conceptions of water-island knowledge in OCEANIA special issue 'Water Futures in Australia'. With respect and our deepest condolences to Mr Webb's family, friends, and colleagues.

Editors and authors of the Oceania special issue on Water Futures will talk about recent water research at this event at the UQ Art Museum. If in Brisbane on 13th March, please come along! (EVENT CANCELLED)

Oceania journal recently published a special issue entitled ‘Rethinking Decolonisation in Papua New Guinea’, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/18344461/2024/94/2 - and we would like to invite you to join us for a launch event, with Alex Golub.

RETHINKING DECOLONISATION IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Online via https://uqz.zoom.us/j/85742687826

Weds 30th October, 13:00-14:00 (Sydney time)
Weds 30th October, 12:00-13:00 (Brisbane time)

Tues 29th October, 19:00-20:00 (Los Angeles time)

This special issue, edited by Alex Golub (University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa) and Courtney Handman (The University of Texas at Austin), reexamines ‘decolonisation’ or ‘independence’ in PNG, and how this has been imagined both during and after it occurred. Doing so, the issue argues, allows us to see that decolonisation often involves more than just the two actors of the ‘coloniser’ and the ‘colonised’, and to better understand forms of political innovation in which the goal is not the creation of a nation-state. By broadening our awareness of a range of decolonising processes, we can expand our understanding of this important political process.
