  • Congratulations to Professor Melitta Hogarth, a Kamilaroi woman and Director of Ngarrngga at the University of Melbourne, for being named the 2024 ACEL Vic Hedley Beare Educator of the Year! As Associate Dean (Indigenous), Principal Research Fellow, and Professor of Indigenous Education, Melitta’s leadership in advancing Indigenous rights in education is transformative. With nearly two decades of teaching experience and a nationally acclaimed PhD, her work is reshaping education. Reflecting on the recognition, Melitta shared: "From the age of five, I told my parents I was going to be a teacher and go to university. Five-year-old me would never have thought that one day I would be awarded the Hedley Beare Educator of the Year. I am humbled to be this year's recipient of this prestigious award." We are so proud of you, Melitta 💙

Physical education pioneer Fritz Duras had a distinguished career, but new research in Dhoombak Goobgoowana, edited by Dr Ross Jones, Dr James Waghorne and Professor Marcia Langton AO, reveals his unsettling ties to the Eugenics Society of Victoria, a fact that can't be ignored.
