Upcoming Meetings:


April 23rd, 2026

The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 23rd of April at the Dulwich Community Centre, 14 Union St, Dulwich at 6:00 pm.

We are delighted to welcome Dr Skye Krichauff, who will present: "The South Australian Frontier And Its Legacies Project: Uncovering And Understanding Colonial Settler–Aboriginal Violence".

Skye is an ethno-historian who combines the methodologies of history, anthropology and oral history. Her research focuses on colonial cross-cultural relations, the relationship between history and memory, and how societies live with historical injustices — particularly the enduring legacies of colonialism in Australia. She has worked as a history researcher for Aboriginal community organisations and as an expert historian for South Australian Native Title Services. She also volunteers as a Truth Telling co-ordinator for the Adnyamathanha community and as a liaison for community groups seeking to engage with Aboriginal organisations. From 2020 to 2023, she was Project Manager, Archival Researcher and Oral Historian for the ARC Linkage project that produced The South Australian Frontier and its Legacies website. She is currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide.
