— Appears in: The Guardian Australia , 9 June 2017; 'Growing up with a last name associated with Aboriginal activism, my identity is often decided for me. It some ways it becomes a validation of my Aboriginality. As I do not fit the stereotypical “mould” of what an Aboriginal person is “meant to look like”, having my last name has at times saved me from the uncomfortable guess work that goes with my identity.' (Introduction)
1 Australia's First Indigenous Opera Heads West Shannan Dodson , 2012 single work column
