Dear History Community,
I know it is a busy week and apologies if you are bombarded with emails and canvas notifications.
I just wanted to draw your attention to two BIG events coming up next week, including one involving some fabulous History Lecturers here at USyd, including Dr. Niro Kandasamy and Challis Professor Chris Hilliard.
Booking is essential. Why not come along after the seminar, listen to some fascinating discussion, and have some free drinks and hors d’oeuvres. If you come to the History lecture, please do say hello to myself or any other staff you recognise. Many of us will be there.
For complete information, please see here, https://soh-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/challis-10-08-2023/
But here’s the gist:
Four researchers from the School of Humanities at the University of Sydney will be joined by the ABC’s Big Ideas over 2 nights.*
Challis Lecture in Philosophy | 9 August, 5pm, Chau Chak Wing Museum
- The new sciences of sex and reproduction
Paul E. Griffiths, Challis Professor of Philosophy; Luara Ferracioli, Associate Professor of Philosophy
- Challis Lecture in History| 10 August, 5pm, Chau Chak Wing Museum
Rethinking Assimilation and Multiculturalism in Contemporary History
Chris Hilliard, Challis Professor of History; Niro Kandasamy, Lecturer in History
It’s a pretty big deal with the ABC’s ‘Big Ideas’ radio programme coming on board and the whole thing being chaired by it’s host and presenter – Natasha Mitchell.
You can go to one of them or both of them. Please do feel encouraged to come -and again, please say hello and tell us who you are….!
Mike M.
Chair, History
