Tracey is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow with Charles Sturt University’s School of Indigenous Australian Studies. Tracey is a cultural historian and vexillologist and her research interests focus on Australia’s national flags and their role, both historical and current, in the creation and maintenance of national identity. Tracey’s PhD, Australian National Identity: Somewhere between the Flags? is a multidisciplinary literature-based study. Her investigation into the representational force of the Australian flag and how it might make meaning for Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous Australians, in differing ways, is at the heart of the thesis.
