Monday 9 November – Tuesday 10 November 2009 Proposals for panels and papers are invited on the theme of Indigenous participation in Australian economies, from the perspectives of anthropology, history or material culture studies, or some combination of these perspectives.

We hope to cover a broad variety of economies from whaling to CDEP, across the span of more than two centuries. Papers which consider the characteristics of the material culture of local economies, from saddles to art, and material evidence of Indigenous participation, such as photographs, will be welcome. Panels so far proposed include:
The role of sexuality in the intercultural economy in Australia. Transactions between fringe camps and towns. The period of transition from low wage/ no wage to CDEP.
