One of the key aims of the projects is to present materials in different languages relating to specific topics in Australian history. Our project curates these resources and provide translations of selected materials. We hope that teachers and students will use our communications channels to suggest topics and provide feedback on resources. You can find specific teaching collections created by project members and other users in the ‘Teaching‘ section of the ‘Collections’ page.
Student projects
The following projects were created by University of Sydney students using the OMAA archive, as part of the School of Languages and Cultures unit ICLS1200, ‘Language Hybrids and Cultural Fusions’, taught by our colleague Dr Benjamin Nickl. We have published their work here for use as teaching resources, and will be adding new presentations as they appear. The first presentations were part of the OMAA 2024 conference.

“The diaspora…from the Mediterranean can start to self-identify and claim [an] alternative Australian-ness, which rides up against and challenges some of those monocultural renderings of what constitutes a good Australian.” Dr Andonis Piperoglou.
