Catch up on the Keynotes from the 2024 Annual Conference

19 Feb 25

‘We Won, You Lost. Get Over It!’ Moving Beyond Truth-telling to Justice in the Australian History Classroom Dr Aleryk Fricker, Deakin University

In the first keynote, Dr Aleryk Fricker examines the limitations of truth-telling, particularly regarding First Nations content in Australian History classrooms, and how educators can transition from simply telling history to creating a more just and inclusive classroom. This is a must-watch for teachers committed to deepening their understanding of reconciliation and decolonising education.

Making Australian History Professor Anna Clark, University of Technology Sydney

In discussion with Dr Deb Hull, HTAV, Professor Anna Clark from the University of Technology Sydney delves into the evolving narrative of Australian history and the complex process of history-making. In this keynote, Anna discusses her book Making Australian History, exploring the shifting perspectives of each generation and the role of historians in shaping the past. Discover the challenges of defining where Australian history begins and how history can contribute to truth-telling and reconciliation, particularly in the context of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
