While a few figures—such as Alexander Schramm and Richard Schomburgk—are well known, most of the cohort remain little studied. This seminar, part of an in-progress PhD thesis, presents emerging research into their identities, networks, and motivations, situating them within global migration patterns and South Australia’s colonial context.
