Autorenporträt
Reuben Brown is a non-Indigenous (Settler/Balanda) applied ethnomusicologist specialising in Indigenous song and dance practices from western Arnhem Land (kun-borrk/manyardi). Brown has co-authored publications with Indigenous Australian ceremony leaders as well as musicologists, linguists, anthropologists and historians on the relationship between language and song and the re-use of archival recordings to support transmission of Indigenous knowledge. Brown is an ARC DECRA Research Fellow at the Research Unit for Indigenous Languages, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne. His DECRA project investigates how ceremonial performance at Indigenous festivals in northern Australia enacts diplomacy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants, and between different clan and language groups.
