Winner of the Stanner Award in 2013, Carlson's work examines contemporary Aboriginal identity, utilising historical research, interviews, and surveys.

The text addresses community and external tensions regarding identity measures and the effects of identification. Additionally, it analyzes online Indigenous communities on social media, contributing to broader discussions on Aboriginal identity.
