Colonial representations in a post-colonial world /
Submitted as fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Environment and Geographym Macquarie University, Sydney. 29 October 2014. Museum practice is constantly evolving. This work is focussed on the representation of First Nation people, primarily in Australia. Qualitative measurements of the impact of two policy instruments of the national peak professional association, Museums Australia, are reported. In particular, this study establishes that changes prescribed by policy guidelines are not effectively conveyed within museum spaces frequented by the casual visitor. Previous attempts to document change in this area have focussed on interviews with practitioners and reviews of individual exhibition works. This is the first comprehensive, sector-wide study of exhibition practice that post-dates policy articulation. 1. Introduction -- 2. Museum policy -- 3. Methodology -- 4. Histories -- 5.
