Science, mourning and loss: WJ Macleay & Erub in 1875
Historian and curator, Dr Leah Lui-Chivizhe is a Torres Strait Islander with enduring family connections to the eastern and western Torres Strait. Leah's current research focuses on how nineteenth century collections from the region can be useful for reconnecting Islanders with our pre-colonial histories of human and more-than-human relations. In January 2022 she joined the Social and Political Sciences program at the University of Technology, Sydney, where she is senior lecturer in Indigenous histories.
