SUMMARY:AGL Shaw Lecture: The Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate – Compassionate Protection or Temporising Quackery?
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Historical Society of Victoria and the CJ La Trobe Society are proud to present the annual AGL Shaw Lecture.\nThe Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate – Compassionate Protection or Temporising Quackery?\nSpeaker: Dr Frances Thiele\nThe Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate (1839-1849) was an experimental system put in place by the Colonial Office in London\, and managed by Superintendent La Trobe\, ostensibly to stop conflict between Aboriginal people and settlers. Created by British evangelicals\, the effectiveness of the Protectorate system was completely undermined by misunderstandings at all levels of its administration about what it was and how it was to be run. The consequence was a Protectorate system rife with internal division and a shifting locus of control. \nWhen so many Aboriginal people died during the period when the Protectorate system was in place\, the inadequacy of the British and Colonial government’s response is hard for many people to understand and begs the question – who was to blame? In terms of a history of the bureaucracy of the Protectorate\, what is the historian’s role in answering this question? \nAbout Dr ThieleFrances Thiele is a professional historian and senior heritage advisor working in Aboriginal and historic cultural heritage management. In 1997\, she was awarded the E.W. Benham Prize for a PhD in British History at the University of Adelaide. \nFrances worked as Field Historian at State Library Victoria for seven years\, and in 2007\, was awarded the La Trobe Society’s inaugural Fellowship. Her research interests include Australian colonial history\, especially in the Port Phillip District. \nAbout the AGL Shaw lectures\nAlan George Lewers Shaw AO\, FAHA\, FASSA\, FRAHS\, FRHSV (1916 – 2012) was an RHSV Councillor from 1965 to 1971 and President from 1987 to 1991. He is also a Benefactor of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria. He was President of the C J La Trobe Society as well and the two organisations\, the C J La Trobe Society and the RHSV\, have jointly presented the annual AGL Shaw lecture since 2002 as a tribute to a great historian.
