Dr Michael Donovan, Macquarie and Dr Judy-anne Osborn, Monash
Abstract: National Reconciliation week 27 May – 3 June (https://www.reconciliation.org.au/our-work/national-reconciliation-week/) commemorates the successful 1967 Referendum and the Mabo Decision; and invites all Australians to consider how we can each contribute to achieving Reconciliation in Australia. In this talk we (Indigenous researcher Dr Michael Donovan and Anglo-Australian mathematician Dr Judy-anne Osborn) share some of our thoughts about ways that mathematics and mathematicians can contribute to Reconciliation from within our communities.
