Dhoombak Goobgoowana Volume II: Voice reveals the pivotal role played by Indigenous people in the history of the University of Melbourne.

It traces the University's role in ignoring and quietening Indigenous peoples' voices, and the reverberations created by those voices that broke through. It shows how collections of art and cultural objects have transitioned from texts for western interpretation to expressions of self-identity. It reveals the Indigenous pioneers who gained admission to the University as students more than a century after it was established, and then later as staff, and documents their triumphs and struggles.

This second volume, following the revelations of Dhoombak Goobgoowana Volume I: Truth, shows how Indigenous communities challenged and disrupted the University, how they contributed to its research endeavours and exhorted it to introduce Indigenous knowledge into the academic sphere.
Gradually, and often reluctantly, the University began to change. But there remains much work to be done.
