Dr Nicholas Clements is a historian of Aboriginal Tasmania and frontier conflict. His 2014 book, The Black War: Fear, Sex and Resistance in Tasmania, explored the motivations and experiences of both colonists and Aboriginal people during that conflict.
Nick's 2021 book, co-authored with Henry Reynolds was Tongerlongeter: First Nations Leader and Tasmanian War Hero - the story of a remarkable Palawa leader and the incredible resistance he and his people mounted against the invasion of their country.
Most recently, he contributed the Tasmanian chapter to The Australian Wars (2025). Nick's work seeks to humanise history's actors but also to view them through the moral lenses of their time, rather than those of the 21st century.
