Leonie Stevens – Looking Out, Looking In: A Coastal Encounters Reader
2026 Global Encounters Network Seminar Series
In 2026, we will host a monthly webinar series to connect the diverse network of scholars affiliated or linked to the project for a fruitful, ongoing discussion.
Looking Out, Looking In: A Coastal Encounters Reader
This seminar marks the launch of one of the major research outputs of the Global Encounters Monash (GEM) project: a survey of encounters between coastal First Nations people and those who came from the sea. In this seminar, Dr Leonie Stevens will discuss the methodological process of the report (and the GEM project generally), complications, and typologies.
Speaker: Dr Leonie Stevens, Monash University
Dr Leonie Stevens is an ethnographic historian, and a Research Fellow on the Global Encounters Laureate project. Leonie studied history and archaeology, and her PhD focused on the activism of Tasmanian First Nations Peoples during their exile on Flinders Island in the 1830s and 40s. She researches and writes on Indigenous and Australian history.
