CoSS-USYD Joint PhD Scholarship – The Socio-Economic Impacts of Colonialisation in Australia!
Since the early European settlements in the late 18th century, the economic history of Australia is very deeply linked to its colonisation. This PhD thesis proposal will create a rich dataset to measure the impact that British colonialisation had on its Australian colonies on a range of economic outcomes in the short and long-run. Using British and Irish records of settlers, Australian arrival records and subsequent censuses, together with current and recent rich administrative health records and surveys, the focus of this thesis will be twofold.
