- Abstract
Quote, page 318: "All this said, we are settlers, and if Indigenous people want to call their own knowledge 'science', then it is not our place to object. The past of science at the University of Melbourne - as in the wider world - is mired in colonialism and racism, but that does not mean the future of science will look the same way. As more settler scientists learn to value Indigenous knowledge, and as more Indigenous scientists take leading roles in our research institutions, these debates may soon be seen as abstract and archaic. But for now, they demand our serious consideration."
