Graeme K Ward (PhD, ANU), Research Fellow, Human Relationships with Landscapes through Time. Dr Ward’s research is focused on the changing relationship of humans to the Australian landscapes through ancient and historic times.
Current Research Focus
The growing field of cultural heritage tourism involving Indigenous Australian places is the subject of Dr Ward’s current research. A major part of this is developing awareness and assessment of the impact of tourism on heritage places, especially sites with rock-markings, the major loci of much tourism.
In the last few years, Dr Ward has conducted fieldwork, including intensive field recording, in conjunction with traditional owners of Wadeye-Port Keats areas and staff of Kanamkek-Yile Ngala Museum, of cultural heritage places that are, or are proposed to be, subject to tourism, most recently in September and October of 2005. He has collaborated with Museum staff on presentations on this topic at national and international conferences.
Dr Ward is currently editor of the Institute’s journal, Australian Aboriginal Studies, and serves as coordinator of Research Program publications.
