A gift from South Auckland law firm Kayes Fletcher Walker has enabled the award of an additional scholarship this year. A scholarship supported by the firm has been awarded to Tonia Chalk, a Budjari scholar, whose doctoral research investigates the context of Queensland coronial inquiries into the deaths of Aboriginal women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
