In episode thirty two of Frontier War Stories, Boe speaks with Professor Lyndall Ryan. Professor Ryan is a historian of violence on the Australian colonial frontier specialising in the period 1788-1850 and the leader of the team behind the Colonial Frontier Massacres Map. Frontier War Stories is produced, written and hosted by Boe Spearim Additional editing support from Awesome Black
In recent decades historians have presented irrefutable evidence of frontier violence, smashing the myth of a benign, peaceful settlement of Australia. But debate continues about whether that conflict amounted to a war and if it should be commemorated by the national war memorial.
In episode Twenty One Boe yarn with Professor Lyndall Ryan from the University of Newcastle in NSW. On the 10th of June 1838 just outside of what is now Bingara in Northern NSW a group of 10 convict stockmen, led by a squatter, rode onto Myall Creek Station and brutally massacred about 28 Gamilaraay People, mostly older men, women and children in an unprovoked and premeditated attempt to get them off land. This event is now known as the Myall Creek Massacre and, whilst only one of many Massacres committed across Australia over a 100 year period, it's notable now for it was the first time that the perpetrators of such crimes were brought to justice. Following a second trial, seven men were executed. You would think after this trial the Killing of Aboriginal people would stop but in fact the killings continued.

This week on the program we hear an interview with Professor Lyndall Ryan, a leading historian of the Australian colonial frontier.Lyndall spoke with Marisa Sposaro, presenter and producer of 3CR Community Radio's Doin Time show, about the Frontier Wars, the process of uncovering evidence of massacres of Aboriginal people, and a digital Colonial Frontier Massacres map covering the period from 1780 to 1930.Listeners should be aware that this episode contains historical description of massacres and mention of Aboriginal people who have passed away.
Lyndall Ryan´s interest in the history of Australia has grown since her early days as a scholar researching the history of Tasmania and the consequences of the "Black War” for the local Aboriginal population. Through her work, the historian became heavily invested in the survival stories of Indigenous Australians and the frontier wars, which included acknowledgment of massacres committed by European settlers in the early days of the nation. Her research and expertise in the field got her involved in the legendary “History Wars” during the 1990s and early 2000s with other historians. In 2017, Lyndall gained worldwide exposure after she and her team at the University of Newcastle in NSW published an interactive online map of massacre sites in Australia. The map went viral and since its first release has turned into a national project in which Australian´s are helping to tell the whole story of the nation’s past. Here you can find out more about Lyndall’s work and look at the map: https://www.newcastle.edu.au/profile/lyndall-ryan https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/map.php This Episode of Talking Australia is hosted by Angela Heathcote (Digital Producer at Australian Geographic) and produced by Ben Kanthak (www.beachshackpodcasts.com).

Following Leanne's experience of watching Hanna Gadsby's Nanette on Netflix, we spent the whole episode talking about this amazingly unique comedy show and Hannah's brilliant performance.Leanne proposed that standup comedy show should be considered an art form too. She believed Nanette had all qualities to be viewed as a piece of highbrow art. Leanne broke down the show into moments and actions from which a discussion was elaborated between us. Julie continued the topic on Nanette. As a person from the same city that Hanna is from, Julie suggested that Hannah blurred the boundary between comedy show and theatre works. By using the knowledge about Myall Creek massacre, Julie raised the question if the art was competent in assisting people of current generation to deal with trauma, especially the ones inherited from previous generations, and in producing memorials. This episode presented a heated, vibrant and smooth conversation that could be related to many listeners.In the end, Julie revealed a book that she was finishing up for Lost Rocks series. It was the project including 50 Tasmanian people to write about rock. The book is called 'Shale'. it will be out in October.Leanne's exhibition titled Subterraneans will be held at the Dirty Dozen (in Campbell Arcade, underground commuter walkway from Flinders street Station to Degraves Street). It is curated by Leanne and shows twelve artists who have studied at MFA course at RMIT. The show opens to the public from 20/7 - 24/8. The opening will be from 7-9pm on Friday 20/7.

We spend a lot of time arguing about the meaning and implications of words in the field of genocide studies. Buckets of ink have been spilled defining and debating words like genocide, intent, ‘in part,’ and crimes against humanity. Philip Dwyer and Lyndall Ryan are certainly invested in the process of careful definitions and descriptions. Theaters of Violence: Massacre, Mass Killing, and Atrocity through History (Berghahn Books, 2012)and the special issue of the Journal of Genocide Research that form the basis of our discussion are both a plea for and a move toward a thorough, theoretically sound understanding of the concept of a massacre. In doing so, they offer a thoughtful commentary on the notion of genocide and its relationship to massacres and atrocities. But these volumes are more than a theoretical engagement with a concept. They are a rich exploration of the nature of mass killing, as the subtitle puts it, throughout history. The essays here range from individual case studies to attempts to discover patterns and consistencies from the fractal landscape of violence that has typified human existence. They offer readers a chance to come to grips with the disturbing reality that human beings have always been willing to destroy other humans at exactly the moment when they are most vulnerable. A brief note for those listeners unfamiliar with the Journal of Genocide Research. The journal is one of the leading venues for researchers from a variety of academic disciplines to report on their research about genocide and related topics. It offers scholars from across the world a chance to propose new ideas, publicize new discoveries, and launch new conversations about important books or developments in the field. As such, it is a must read for those interested in new research on genocide studies. This podcast begins an attempt to expand our coverage slightly beyond the ‘new book’ format of the channel. Most interviews will remain focused on new books published in the field. But the Journal publishes special issues periodically that function much like books in their focus on specific issues or events. So the podcast will occasionally feature the editors of these special issues. I hope you’ll find these interviews as interesting and as important as you do those with books you can get at the library. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
