Professor FIONA PAISLEY is a cultural historian in the School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science, Griffith University, Brisbane. Professor Paisley researches histories of humanitarianism and internationalism in the interwar years, transnational histories of gender and empire, and critiques of settler colonialism. She is currently working on sites of everyday internationalism in Australia during the first half of the twentieth century; transnational religious networks and liberal cosmopolitanisms within and beyond empire; how anti-slavery and Indigenous rights discourses were mobilised by humanitarian and Aboriginal rights networks in Australia and Britain from the 1920s to the 1950s; and what the Pan-Pacific in the 1930s can reveal about Australia’s role in the modernisation of colonialism through educational reform.
