Uncurated: COUNTRY

What would Australia look like if we had monkeys swinging around our cities? In the late 19th Century, a number of associations called “acclimatisation societies” sprung up across Australia with the goal of bringing familiar plants and animals to what the British colonists saw as an impoverished landscape. This episode explores the massive ecological transformation that shaped what the university’s environment looks like today, and how Indigenous knowledge about land preservation was ignored for decades.

Uncurated: REMAINS

Between the 1800s to1950s, anthropologists at the University of Melbourne were digging up burial sites of First Nations ancestors who had been laid to rest and collecting, rather stealing, their bodies. And while some of these human remains were returned to land and reburied, one collection remained hidden away at the university in a storage room until 2003. Uncover the true story of The University of Melbourne’s troubled past of grave robbing and the efforts to repatriate the hundreds of Indigenous ancestors’ skeletal remains back to their land and families. — Interviewees: Marie Havea, Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council Rohan Long, Curator of the Harry Brookes Allen Museum Inspiration for this episode was informed by the recently published book Doombak Goobgoowana: A History of Indigenous Australia by Ross L. Jones, Dr. James Waghorne, and Professor Marcia Langton of the University of Melbourne.

Introducing Uncurated Season 3

On the surface, the University of Melbourne is a historical spectacle – with its grand arches, stone facades, echoing hallways, and the chimes of the old clocktower. But this university is also home to many secrets, from human remains unearthed on university grounds, to its role in nuclear testing on Indigenous lands. In an eight-part series, students from the Centre for Advancing Journalism explore the university’s hidden past, revealing stories that reach beyond iconic buildings and the names they bear. We dive into the colonial legacies tied to these structures, the injustice they represent, and the multicultural narratives that push back against this history. This series is about truth-telling—illuminating the foundations on which this our university is built. Join us as we unearth the stories that have been buried for far too long.

News Bites: Racing the Clock with Dr Caroline James-Garrod

Today’s News Bites guest is journalist and CAJ Lecturer Dr Caroline James-Garrod. Caroline got her start as a cadet at Leader Community Newspapers in Melbourne. Since then, she’s had an expansive career working across the country and abroad. She’s also seen major industry upheavals, from the rise of the 24/7 online news cycle to the era of mass job cuts. These shifts have left many journalists with too much work and not enough time, an issue Caroline researched as part of her PhD on time poverty. For News Bites, Caroline spoke with senior tutor Bernadette Nun. She shared advice for starting a career in community news and navigating an industry where jobs are scarce and time is precious. Shownotes ''No time to think': Overloaded journalists trim practices to save time', Australian Journalism Review 'No bandwidth to think is the cost of being time poor', Pursuit See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sci-Fi: Myths and Monsters

In Victorian London, a persistent rumour spread of a murderer who could leap between the city’s alleyways to avoid detection. Newspapers called him spring-heeled jack—one of the first ever urban legends. He wasn’t real, but the fears that inspired him were. Fears of rapidly changing urban spaces and the upheavals of industrialization. This week, we’re bringing you stories about similar mythical monsters—and what they reflect about the societies that create them. Featuring stories by Joseph Sadlier, Milla Richardson, Azka Taruna, and Louis Murdoch. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
