Timeline
Gordon Briscoe AO (1938 – 30 June 2023) was an Aboriginal Australian academic and activist.
Briscoe was involved in the establishment in New South Wales of the Aboriginal Progress Association in the 1950s, the Aboriginal Legal Service in the 1960s and the Aboriginal Medical Service in 1972.
After playing state league for Adelaide Croatia alongside Charles Perkins and John Moriarty, Briscoe moved to England in 1958 with the hope of playing professional football.
He had stints at Barnet and Preston North End (although he did not make a first team appearance), before returning to Australia at the suggestion of his former schoolmate and teammate Perkins.
Briscoe, along with Perkins and Moriarty, later played recreational soccer with the Australian National University Soccer Club from 1968 to about 1972.
He was treasurer on the committee of the Aboriginal Publications Foundation, which published the magazine Identity, in the 1970s.
In 1981, Briscoe began his academic career with the Australian National University (ANU).
His focus was on Indigenous history and he was involved in the production of the SBS documentary First Australians.
In 1997, he was awarded a PhD from the Australian National University.
He was also a soccer player.
Born in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia, Briscoe was descended from the Marduntjara and Pitjantjatjara nations of Central Australia.
He was removed from his mother as a child and was educated at St Francis House in Semaphore South, a beachside suburb of Adelaide near Port Adelaide, South Australia.
There he was treated with kindness, sent to the local school, and met other future Aboriginal leaders and activists, including Charles Perkins, John Kundereri Moriarty, Richie Bray, Vince Copley, Malcolm Cooper, and others.
In 1997, he was awarded a PhD from ANU.
Briscoe became inaugural Research Fellow of ANU's Australian Centre for Indigenous History in 2003.
Briscoe's memoir, Racial Folly: A Twentieth-Century Aboriginal Family was published by ANU Press in 2010 as an open access book.
It "shows us the history of an Aboriginal family who lived under the race laws, practices and policies of Australia in the twentieth century. It tells the story of a people trapped in ideological folly spawned to solve 'the half-caste problem'"
He also wrote a number of books and reports on Aboriginal health and history, including:
Briscoe died on 30 June 2023 at the age of 84.
