About Clare Land
Clare Land is an Academic/Researcher at Moondani Balluk Academic Unit, where she runs the ARC-funded Northland Campaign Community History Project with Professor Gary Foley. Clare is a non-Aboriginal person.
Clare has a long-standing commitment to supporting land justice and Indigenous-led struggles and is known in particular for the book, Decolonizing Solidarity: Dilemmas and Directions for Supporters of Indigenous Struggles (Zed Books, 2015).
Clare is co-coordinator of a large-scale community education project (the Decolonizing Solidarity Book Club); and a member of the Police Stop Data Expert Working Group of the Flemington and Kensington Community Legal Centre, Melbourne; and the Woor Dungin Committee of Management. In 2019 Clare took up a role as a mentor to emerging organisers in The Change Agency’s Community Organising Fellowship.
Decolonizing Solidarity is based on Clare’s PhD research at Deakin University, for which she was awarded the Isi Leibler Prize for the thesis which ‘best contributes to advancing knowledge of racial, religious or ethnic prejudice in any time or place, or to advancing knowledge of multiculturalism and community relations in Australia.’
Clare has a BA(Hons)/BSc from the University Melbourne. Her Honours year was a combined course of study across the Faculties of History and History and Philosophy of Science. Her Honours Thesis (supervised by Tony Birch) was awarded the 2001 Margaret Kiddle Prize for the best honours thesis in the History Department and an History and Philosophy of Science essay during Honours won Clare the 2002 WMC Prize for archival research. In her BSc she majored in Botany and Biochemistry.
Clare has worked on research projects interpreting colonial history and Australian political history, and promoting educational equity.
Clare volunteered at 3CR community radio between 2001 and 2014 including 12 years as a broadcaster. From 2002-2012 she collaborated with Gunai/Maar man Robbie Thorpe as co-presenter of the show Fire First.
