A New Agenda for the Global South: West Papua, the UN and the Politics of Decolonisation - Humanity

In this journal article, I investigate how the West Papuan campaign (pre-1962 NY agreement) hit upon tensions between territorial integrity and self-determination within anti-colonial politics. I also make a case for the inclusion of the Pacific in studies of the Global South.

 

West Papua and the International History of Decolonization, 1961-69 - International History Review

I published a journal article with the International History Review on how West Papuan activists connected their campaign for decolonisation to anti-colonial struggles in Africa and Asia, and the need to incorporate this into international histories of decolonisation.

 

‘How the world failed West Papua in its campaign for independence’ - The Conversation

I wrote an article for the Conversation on the history of West Papuan activism at the UN as a pre-history to the recent activism and the push for a referendum.

‘How did the West Papuan people become invisble?’ - How was it really?

I was interviewed for the University of Sydney’s History podcast during my PhD. In my episode, I talk about how I came to study West Papua and how the West Papuan people have become invisible in our histories.
