I am accumulating a list of films (and TV series also OK: there is an example in The Crown) that contain depictions of historians, history lecturers/professors and history teachers. Any suggestions, any country, greatly appreciated. #twitterstorians

Dr Peter Love taught me politics at Swinburne in my first year, before I switched to social work. He taught me the importance of democracy and having a voice. Vale Peter, thank you for your rich legacy and love of politics

Here's my review in @AHSjournal of @PhillipDeery's fascinating and significant book, "Spies and Sparrows: ASIO and the Cold War" with @MUPublishing . I hope you find it interesting and useful. I certainly enjoyed reading it!

Feeling very sad. Peter was such a great supporter of labour history and young whipper snipper-would be labour historians… for me a stalwart for almost 40 years. He didn’t just use the word comrade but practised it!

[Amanda Threlfall @AmandaThrelfall]

Vale comrade Peter Love. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

[Martin Foley @Martin__Foley]

Vale Peter Love
His sudden death shocks so many - our deepest sympathy to Susanne and all those who loved and worked with a loyal Titian of the Labor movement. Historian Campaigner Comrade. He will be deeply missed

[Frank Bongiorno @fbongiornoanu]

Peter will be greatly missed. He was such a generous mentor to so many of us.

https://t.co/NZf4YCBPXb . Vale Peter Love , historian and activist who provided me with a great story for one of my favourite radio documentaries in 1980s for ABC radio on Sir Otto Niemeyer's visit to Australia during 1930s. Still relevant today . thanks Peter

Last week I lost a dear friend a teacher, Peter Love. Peter was a force of nature. An incredible educator. The beating heart of the pols community at Swinny. He wasn’t so much my mentor as my spirit animal. I carry a piece of him into all my classes. I am heartbroken to lose him.
