Biography

Barry is a descendent of the Pitjantjatjara people of North West South Australia and British immigrants who settled on the Victorian goldfields in the 1850s. Barry has a growing research interest and expertise in explorations of Australian identity and the process of cultural interchange between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Australia since 1770. His PhD thesis explored cross cultural engagements between Aborigines and Anglo-Australians in the sport of Australian (Rules) Football. Entitled 'Australian game, Australian Identity: (post)colonial identity in football' Barry engages. with (post) colonial ideas of 'cultural hybridity' which claim colonial encounters between 'settler' and 'native' produce (post)colonial identity positions that rest somewhere 'in-between' previously held by invader and invaded. Barry's research enables him to further develop his interest concerning constructions of Australian citizenship and Australian nationalism, Aboriginal affairs policy and administration.

Recently awarded an ARC Indigenous Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, Barry continues to research Aborigines in Australian Football. His postdoctoral research examine the potential for Australian Football as a context for dialogue to assist reconciliation in post-Apartheid South Africa through an understanding of the role sport has played in shaping settler/native relationships in relation to Indigenous Australian participation in Australian Football.

Prior to joining the Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies Barry worked extensively in the support of Indigenous Higher Education at the University of Melbourne and Swinburne University of Technology occupying a number of administrative and support positions including Manager Indigenous Programs. Through his work experience and previous postgraduate studies in public policy Barry maintains a strong interest in Indigenous higher education policy and administration.
