New article by ASSH member Ray Nickson on baseball sabr.org/journal/article/the…
At the height of the White Australia Policy a team of Japanese immigrants were a celebrated addition to local sports in Sydney. You can read about their amazing story in my new article, 'The Disappearance of the Nippon Cup', in the Baseball Research Journal.
Sports are a great vehicle to overcome prejudice. My research on the Nippon Baseball Club highlights this power during the White Australia Policy. It was a privilege to present this research to the Australia-Japan Society of NSW. Soon to appear in the Baseball Research Journal.
I was interviewed about sports (baseball), history and crime today for @RadioNational with Julian Morrow from @chaser. @uonlawschool @UON_research @ABL @sabr

Earlier this month, Travis Bazzana made history as the first Australian selected number one in the Major League Baseball draft. ⚾️
Dr @RayNCrim says we can only imagine how many more Bazzana’s Australia might have produced if not for the crimes that derailed baseball’s growth.👇

Great article expanding on Ray, Alice and Edna’s story in the Sydney Morning Herald today. It articulates why offering restorative justice for patients, families and clinicans is essential

A deeply personal and insightful paper by lawyer and restorative scholar Dr Ray Nickson & Alice Neikirk about the death of a daughter and why non-adversarial options may be better placed to address the needs of victims and encourage restoration
