Nancy Cushing is Associate Professor in History at the University of Newcastle on beautiful Awabakal and Worimi country. While her research focuses on environmental history, it was students' fascination with crime history that drew her to this topic, and to the writing of A HISTORY OF CRIME IN AUSTRALIA.
Newcastle Writers Festival would like to acknowledge the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the festival takes place, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and extend this respect to all First Nations people attending our festival.
