Lyndall Ryan, University of Newcastle from 1998 to 2005. She is currently a conjoint professor in the Centre for the History of Violence at the University of Newcastle.
Academic career
Ryan completed a
PhD at Macquarie University
in 1975, her thesis was titled "Aborigines in Tasmania, 1800–1974 and their problems with the Europeans".
Ryan's book The Aboriginal Tasmanians, first published in 1981, presented an interpretation of the early relations between
Tasmanian Aborigines and white settlers in Tasmania. A second edition, published by Allen & Unwin in 1996, brought the story of the Tasmanian Aborigines in the 20th century up to date. Her work was later criticised by Keith Windschuttle who suggested there were discrepancies between Ryan's claims and her supporting evidence, thus drawing her into the "history wars".[1] Ryan contested Windschuttle's claims in an essay entitled 'Who is the fabricator?' in Robert Manne
's Whitewash: On Keith Windschuttle Fabrication of Aboriginal History published in 2003 and further addressed them in her book, Tasmanian Aborigines: A History Since 1803, published in 2012.
