Some may recall when we were fortunate to have the Honorable Bob Carr as our Keynote at the 2018 HTAV Annual Conference. An advocate for history education here is a video you may be interested in.... 'Bob Carr has been appointed as the chair of Museums of History NSW. The former Premier says the Australian history has many stories as he discusses the pressures of preserving the past.' https://lnkd.in/g7BwWpUQ

I am absolutely delighted and so pleased that I can finally share this news! This year I was awarded the Vice Chancellor's Early Career Researcher Award for Career Excellence. This is recognition of my outstanding contribution to the Deakin 2030 strategic plan: Ideas to impact. I would like to acknowledge the generous nomination from Dr Rebecca Cairns and Eve Mayes, and all the support I've had along the way from my Deadly colleagues at the NIKERI Institute and the Deakin School of Education. I am so proud to have won this mainstream award, the only way that we will be able to shift the dial on Indigenous research, knowledges, and scholarship into its rightful place in the academy is through winning mainstream awards that demonstrate Blak Excellence. I acknowledge my village who have lifted me, and my ancestors and spirits who have guided me and led the way. Thank you all.

Kids are the best! I loved hearing questions about history and evidence, as well as suggestions for new Hey History episodes. (Fingers crossed we're able to press *go* on a new season before too long!)
🤩 "How do you make a podcast? Why do you love history *so* much? How did you get famous?" ... were just some of questions for history professor Anna Clark, asked by grade 4 students at Orange Grove Primary School today in Sydney. Anna and Jane Curtis listened to a Hey History! episode with the students, did a learning activity together and then it was nonstop Q & A. Thanks so much for having us.

I'm so excited to be part of this incredible project. And we have a new website too - get in touch with us at www.nguraninti.com.au
La Trobe University and the University of Melbourne have begun a million-dollar project to compile a four-volume collection of key documents that tell the story of Australian history from an Aboriginal perspective. The Ngura Ninti project, meaning “knowing home”, will be accessible to Aboriginal communities as well as academics and the wider community. It aims to change the way Australians understand the history of their land. This project is the first of its kind in Australia. No previous Aboriginal-focused documentary collection has ever been produced to this scale. La Trobe Pro Vice Chancellor (Indigenous), Associate Professor Michael Donovan, said the project would provide a record of Aboriginal people’s past policies, activism and events. “It will empower Aboriginal communities with historical knowledge that may have been lost through generations, placing the Aboriginal voice and understanding at the forefront, and to educate non-Indigenous Australians about the country’s history before and after colonisation,” he says. The project is co-led by University of Melbourne Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous) Professor Barry Judd, La Trobe University Associate Professor Katherine Ellinghaus and La Trobe Emeritus Professor Richard Broome. Professor Judd said a team of regional editors would consult with Indigenous communities so they could be in control of choosing documents, ensuring Aboriginal leadership and direction of the project.

New Publication Alert! Coming soon by Emeritus Professor and HTAV Patron, Peter McPhee is his latest book, An Environmental History of France. Making the Landscape, 1770-2020. 'The French countryside is as beloved by the many millions of tourists who visit it each year as it is of French people themselves. But it has not always looked like it does today. An Environmental History of France instead presents the countryside in which people live and work and through which they travel as a human creation across 250 years of economic and cultural change, war and revolution. It is a book about the ‘making’ of the French landscape and an engrossing story linking human geography, history, agriculture and culture.' You can preorder now and HTAV Members get 10% off if you log into your membership and order through our Member Benefits Partner - The Nile! https://lnkd.in/gJv7K_Ai

Take a look at the review of a new Ancient History publication by Professor Frederik Juliaan Vervaet. Insightful, intriguing and so much more to discover on Ancient Rome. #ancienthistory #ancientrome Thank you Frederik Juliaan Vervaet for all you give to history and education.
Woke up to an absolutely delightful and encouraging surprise this morning - fabulous incentive for me to keep doing what I do best! (being dangerously unqualified for any other line of work 😉)
Reform, revolution, reaction. A short history of Rome from the origins of the Social War to the dictatorship of Sulla
