In person 'hands-on' discussion

Does history repeat itself in meaningful ways, or is each problem unique? How can a hands-on approach to Australian history enhance our understanding of the present and prepare us for the future?

Join Dr Zora Simic and Dr Claire E. F Wright in this thought-provoking discussion inspired by Lessons from History - a new collection of essays from a diverse range of historians that explore the biggest challenges that face Australia and the world.

Dr Zora Simic is a senior lecturer in History and Gender Studies at UNSW. She has published widely on past and present feminisms, as well as Australian migration history. Zora is currently undertaking an ARC-funded history of domestic violence in Australia, 1850–2020, with Catherine Kevin and Ann Curthoys.
