Greg Lehman

​Foundation Board Member

Greg Lehman, a descendant of the Trawulwuy people of North East Tasmania, is the Pro Vice Chancellor, Aboriginal Leadership, at the University of Tasmania.

He undertook a Master of Studies (MSt) at Balliol College, University of Oxford, after being awarded a Roberta Sykes Scholarship in July 2012. In describing his experience at Oxford, Greg said "Studying at Oxford brings you closer to what feels like an international hub of learning. The resources available, the people, the conversations... there is always something happening that can take your work to a higher level."

He also completed a Bachelor of Science in Zoology, Botany and Geography in 1984, and a PhD in Art History in 2017, from the University of Tasmania. His postdoctoral research was based on the visual representation of Tasmania Aborigines in nineteenth century art.

Greg has worked in a range of Indigenous research roles over thirty years, investigating deaths in custody, return of land, management of World Heritage associative values, reconciliation, education, history and identity.  Greg is a past director of the Riawunna Centre for Aboriginal Education. He has a long-standing interest in, and is a significant contributor to, public discourse on Indigenous identity and cultural interpretation in Australia.

Greg is currently a Fellow of Anglicare's Social Action and Research Centre.  He joined the Roberta Sykes Foundation as a Trustee in 2014.
