Zac Roberts awarded the John Mulvaney Fellowship for 2022

CACHE is delighted to congratulate our ECR affiliate and one of our inaugural 2021 CACHE ECR Indigenous Australian Research Fellows, Zac Roberts, who was awarded the John Mulvaney Fellowship for 2022 by the Australian Academy of the Humanities.  The John Mulvaney Fellowship supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early-career researchers and PhD students working in any field of the humanities to undertake research or fieldwork.

Zac Roberts, a Yuin scholar, is currently an Associate Lecturer and PhD candidate in the Department of Indigenous Studies at Macquarie University. His PhD explores the relationship between Aboriginal and Jewish communities in Australia since 1788. Combining archive work with a wide-scale oral history project, Roberts’ research highlights the history of interactions and types of relations formed between Aboriginal and Jewish communities.  You can read more about Zac’s fellowship project featured in our 2021 CACHE Matters E-Zine

Please join us as we congratulate Zac on his continued success! You can see his Macquarie University profile for more about his publications and projects, and engage with him through Twitter and LinkedIn.
