This project aims to investigate how ten influential Australian thinkers, writers and activists helped the nation to embrace human equality in the mid-twentieth century, by tracing how challenges to colonialism and racial inequality circulated. It expects to produce new knowledge about decolonisation in a settler-state and is methodologically innovative in using group biography to follow how ideas spread outwards via networks. Expected outcomes include developed understanding of how activists and groups successfully explained human rights and equality to mainstream Australia. Benefits should include new insight into how ideas of equality eroded cultural acceptance of White Australia and Australians reconceptualised their society as diverse.

该项目旨在通过追踪殖民主义和种族不平等的挑战如何传播，调查十位有影响力的澳大利亚思想家、作家和活动家如何帮助国家在二十世纪中叶拥抱人类平等。它期望产生关于定居国家非殖民化的新知识，并在方法上创新，利用群体传记来跟踪思想如何通过网络向外传播。预期成果包括加深对活动家和团体如何成功向澳大利亚主流解释人权和平等的理解。好处应该包括对平等观念如何侵蚀白人澳大利亚的文化接受度以及澳大利亚人如何将其社会重新定义为多元化的新见解。
