Four Historians will discuss the future of history in the academy.
The COVID pandemic has impacted many lives and many industries. Some have made fabulous commercial gains, but the university sector has been hit hard, with the loss of overseas students compounded by the deliberate exclusion of universities from government support.
The humanities, including history, were further targeted by government incentives to produce what was deemed 'job-ready' graduates and by a focus on new 'science and research' priorities. In this context, it has become harder than ever to find secure work as an academic historian.
Academic Historians, Professors David Lowe (Deakin University, Victoria), Melanie Oppenheimer (Flinders University, South Australia), Erik Eklund (Federation University, Victoria) and Dr Andre Brett (Consulting Historian & Author) present their views on the future of the History Academic in a discussion chaired by History Council of NSW Councillor, Dr Matthew Allen.
This is a free and online event. Registrations are essential.
This event is a part of History Week 2021 #fromthegroundup, organised by the History Council NSW.
Hosted by the History Council NSW.
