Dr Michael Donovan (Macquarie) and Dr Judy-anne Osborn (Monash)

Abstract: National Reconciliation week 27 May – 3 June (https://www.reconciliation.org.au/our-work/national-reconciliation-week/) commemorates the successful 1967 Referendum and the Mabo Decision; and invites all Australians to consider how we can each contribute to achieving Reconciliation in Australia. In this talk we (Indigenous researcher Dr Michael Donovan and Anglo-Australian mathematician Dr Judy-anne Osborn) share some of our thoughts about ways that mathematics and mathematicians can contribute to Reconciliation from within our communities.

Jointly presented with the CARMA Colloquium at the University of Newcastle, Australia
