Professor Kate Fullagar teaches modern history in the Faculty of Arts at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. She specializes in the history of the eighteenth-century world, particularly the British Empire and the many indigenous societies it encountered. Her interest in comparative indigenous history focuses on the eastern Pacific (Polynesia), the American southeast (especially Cherokees), and the Eora of today’s Australia. She also has interests in visual history, anthropological history, and experimental uses of biography for history.
Fullagar first worked as a project officer at the Australian Academy of the Humanities. She was then a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Sydney for three years before taking up a continuing position at Macquarie University in 2010. She earned her MA in 2001 and PhD in 2005 at the University of California at Berkeley. Fullagar is a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. She is the author of The Savage Visit: New World Peoples and Popular Imperial Culture in Britain, 1710–1795 (University of California Press, 2012), The Warrior, the Voyager, and the Artist: Three Lives in an Age of Empire (Yale University Press, 2020), and Bennelong & Phillip: A History Unravelled (Simon & Schuster, 2023). She is the editor of The Atlantic World in the Antipodes: Effects and Transformations since the Eighteenth Century (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2012) and co-editor with Michael McDonnell of Facing Empire: Indigenous Experiences in a Revolutionary Age (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018). Fullagar was lead chief investigator of an ARC Linkage project with the National Portrait Gallery called Facing New Worlds. She has served as co-editor of History Australia.
