Before crossing over to anthropology, Dr. Paul Burke had a career as a legal aid and land council lawyer in central Australia in the 1980s. There he began to take a particular interest in Aboriginal languages and culture. His work on land claims brought him into close contact with anthropologists and perhaps planted the seed of his book, Law’s Anthropology. While in Canberra working in the administration of land rights and heritage protection legislation he commenced his formal study of anthropology at The Australian National University. He was awarded his PhD in anthropology in 2006. Since then he has worked as a consultant anthropologist on native title claims in southern Queensland and the Pilbara region of Western Australia. He is currently an AOC funded research fellow at the school of archaeology and anthropology at ANU where he is researching the Warlpiri diaspora. He is uniquely well-placed to provide this account of the formulation and legal reception of the expert testimony of anthropologists.

Dr Aaron Corn works with endangered intellectual traditions that remain fundamental to Indigenous cultural survival in remote Australia, and inform contemporary Indigenous engagements across different legal systems and cultures. Focusing on Indigenous initiatives in music and dance, festivals and film, recording and archiving, and law and politics, his research foregrounds the unique perspectives of Indigenous peoples on current public and academic debates over the cultural, economic and political futures of their communities. His book, Reflections and Voices, explores the leadership and creative agency of the Australian band, Yothu Yindi, from Arnhem Land.
Aaron collaborates with Indigenous elders to create seminal records of their endangered performance traditions, and works through the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC) and the National Recording Project for Indigenous Performance in Australia to field test new digital recording technologies and archiving protocols. Through his current ARC Future Fellowship, he collaborates in these initiatives to apply Semantic Web techniques to digital archives management for endangered cultural resources.
Aaron also works closely with Indigenous elders and scholars to identify and repatriate their material culture from collections worldwide. In particular, his work with Dr Joseph Gumbula from Arnhem Land on rights management and access to Indigenous cultural heritage has affected new approaches to curatorial policies and practices among numerous major collections. Aaron plays yidaki ‘didjeridu’ in the traditional Manikay style from Arnhem Land under Dr Gumbula’s direction. He has also produced traditional performers from Arnhem Land in a variety of concerts at major events and venues including the Garma Festival, the Cité de la Musique in Paris, Womadelaide, the National Museum of Australia, and the ANU production of Crossing Roper Bar by the Australian Art Orchestra.
