Change The Date? Australia Day, Reconciliation and the Politics of Division. This applied research addresses Australia’s polarised debates over national identity, focusing on reconciling colonial histories with shared modern values to foster inclusivity.

Expected outcomes include educational resources, inclusive governance models, and strengthened disciplinary collaborations. Benefits include advancing reconciliation, promoting truth-telling. Outputs, such as educational tools, podcasts, and policy recommendations, will empower communities and inform public discourse.. Scheme: Discovery Indigenous. Field: 4410 - Sociology.
