Her writing has won both history and literature awards including a Hazel Rowley Award, the NSW Premier's History Award, the Eric Dark Varuna Fellowship, Australia Council Literature grants and Reconciliation grants. Shortlists include the Western Australian Writer's Fellowship, the Pacific Rim Literature Prize and the Margaret Medcalf Award. Carolyn is currently writing the authorised biography of Australian Wongutha woman Auntie Sadie Canning, a reconciliation trail-blazer and human rights advocate, and a Stolen Generations member. Also in progress is a work weaving together the parallel stories of Wongutha woman Auntie Rosie Meredith and her stolen generations grand-daughter who journeys home searching for family, Country and identity. Carolyn has been working within the Wongutha nation for more than twenty-five years and has been entrusted with these histories by three generations of Elders. A recent commission by the Indigenous Desert Alliance, to write a book telling the stories of ten Indigenous Ranger teams working in the central deserts of Australia, and celebrating their On-Country work, further endorses Carolyn Wadley Dowley's standing as a respected and sensitive voice in Indigenous knowledge-telling.Carolyn is also a published poet.weniger sehen
