AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'I have been engaging with Deborah Bird Rose’s work in a project that aims to bring together environmental history and the broader environmental humanities to examine the past and possible futures of wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia. I have particularly been engaging with two concepts she developed in conversation with others: ‘will-to-destruction’ and ‘deep colonising’ (‘Angel’ 67-78; ‘Land’ 6-13). These concepts are connected through histories of British colonisation and are relevant to environmental historians more widely, in Australia and other places.'

We attend to these communities’ narratives as a first principle. We acknowledge the unceded territories on which we have worked, to produce this issue of Swamphen, and we pay our respects to those territories’ Elders, past, present and emerging. This respect is imbued in our namesake, swamphen, a bird active in this region’s ground, skies and waters.' (Grounding Story Swamphen Collective, introduction) 2020
