If anyone is still on this platform, just thought I'd let you know about something I just got published in @HistAustJournal @AustHistAssoc from our annual conference in July. A respectable version of the keynote. https://t.co/1OfAZtr2br

"In a world riven by cumulative crises, history offers tools of navigation, stories of resistance and hope, and precedents for what can seem like unprecedented times." From @MichelleArrow1

"As historians... our role lies in how we explicitly offer an approach that orients our students as citizens again, able to identify the artificiality of structures of power and confident to act in a world that presents the future as inevitable." @cap_and_gown

[Laura Rademaker @laurarads]

"Historians must carry their hard-earned (and sometimes counterintuitive) training into the analysis of their academic conditions, never allowing it to be overtaken by the self-justificatory language of bosses." From @kate

Really pleased to be part of @HistAustJournal ‘s response to Martin Croft’s and Paul Sendziuk’s alarming survey of history enrollments and staffing. My piece: ‘where to now?’ All thoughts welcome!

Very humbled to read forum article by @MichelleArrow1 and stumble across a reference to my 'powerful keynote' at the @AustHistAssoc conference in July. Thank you. Your recommendations on what we historians could do are, in turn, very thought provoking.

Must-read forum from our next issue of History Australia on the future of academic history

Spotted some historians!
But seriously, ANU is showing contempt for those who make it what it is.

@AlexRoginski @NewBooksNetwork Thank you @AlexRoginski for such a thoughtful engagement with our book!

It was such a pleasure to interview Mavis Kerinaiua and Laura Rademaker about 'Tiwi Story: Turning History Downside Up' for @NewBooksNetwork. We talked key Tiwi stories, book making as community process, football and so much more! @laurarads

@NCLSResearch So few. Can we look at the results somewhere?

[Laura Rademaker @laurarads]

Tiwi Story has been the hardest but most rewarding project I've ever been part of. Collaboration is hard! So thrilled for my Tiwi colleagues to see it shortlisted for the Ernest Scott, and alongside such brilliant historians! https://t.co/fUTfidCpJp

@shannynbpalmer @MUPublishing A big congratulations to you!

Australian policies designed to prevent Aboriginal babies being born as recently as the 1970s. Honoured to work with Julia Hurst and @JakyTroy on this. https://t.co/sjdJFxF7V4
