Minoru Hokari Memorial Grant

About this scholarship

Each year the School of History (‘the School’), in the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences (‘the College’), may offer an award known as the Minoru Hokari Memorial Grant (‘the Award’). There are two awards on offer under this fund, one to support Fieldwork, and another to support Indigenous languages research. The objective of the Award is to provide funding to cover the travel and fieldwork costs of the recipient. Funding for this Award has been provided by various donors, led by Mr Hokari’s sister, Yuki Hokari, to commemorate the life and achievements of Minoru Hokari. Minoru Hokari (1971-2004) made outstanding contributions towards ‘crossculturalising’ historical practice and towards developing a respectful collaborative research strategy with Indigenous Australians. A graduate of Hitotsubashi University and the ANU, Minoru conducted fieldwork amongst Gurindji elders. There are two awards on offer with the objectives of the Awards to; provide funding to cover the travel and fieldwork costs of the recipient; and to support research into Indigenous languages, with special interest in the Gurindji language.
