Grant Success
Congratulations to Nicholas Brown, History Program and ADB, who won an ARC Discovery Grant for his project:
Ten years is enough: the life and afterlife of Rick Farley
This project documents, for the first time, Rick Farley's contribution to our understanding of the urgent questions of
Australia's economic, cultural and environmental sustainability. By analysing Farley's advocacy and action at all
levels of government and society, and across the political spectrum, it provides a broadly accessible study of the
shaping of agendas on these matters. Farley's insistence that community alliances were vital to meeting global
challenges, magnified by Australia's degraded landscapes and the alienation of both Indigenous and
non-Indigenous custodians of those lands, remains as relevant now as it was when he brokered initiatives such as
Landcare.
