Dr Alexandra Dellios awarded a Fellowship by the State Library of NSW

·

The State Library of New South Wales has announced its Library Fellows for 2022 and among the list of exceptional people is Dr Alexandra Dellios.

Dr Dellios has been named the CH Currey Fellow and this will allow her to uncover new stories and offer fresh insights into the library’s extensive collections.

The research project she will be working on is titled, Greek-Australian Women and Building Alternative Multiculturalisms: Grassroots histories of migrant welfare in New South Wales, 1960s–1980s.

It is said to be a grassroots history of early multiculturalism from the perspective of ethnic minority communities (especially women) who worked at the ‘front-lines’ of migrant welfare and service provision from the 1960s to the 1980s.

The State Library’s Fellowship program has been providing research funding since 1974. Well over one million dollars in scholarship support has been provided through the Fellowship program, providing an invaluable contribution to Australian culture, history and society.
