This year’s theme has drawn a positive, popular and creative response and we are proud to present a series of challenging and fascinating talks and exhibits in Sydney, the suburbs and rural NSW. The Annual History Lecture will be delivered by Chris Masters, who will reflect on the role of journalists as historians. I can think of no more appropriate person to speak on this subject because in addition to his distinguished career as an investigative journalist, Chris has written a history of the digger tradition, curated a military history exhibition at the Australian War Memorial, and narrated and written an important television historical documentary, The Years That Made Us. Other talks and tours will focus on radical Sydney in the seventies, the evolution of the representation of the kangaroo, portrayals of rural and suburban communities, the history of gay Sydney, the history of the Australian tourist industry, and images of Diggers on the Western Front. History Week will also feature the photographic collections of our state and local archives. We are confident that this program will not only be educational but fun as well. History Week always depends on hard work and important partnerships. We benefit from the support and insights of an Advisory Panel and I take this opportunity to thank its members. We are grateful for the commitment and inspiring contributions of the event organisers. On behalf of the History Council, our heartfelt thanks for your selfless commitment and your boundless enthusiasm. Thanks also to our generous sponsors and supporters listed on the inside cover of this program. Without your support, History Week would not be possible.

Masters has also helped curate for the Australian War Memorial, ‘Afghanistan, the Australian Story’. The exhibition is due for opening in August 2013.

I deeply appreciate their enduring commitment to working with me day after day as I followed one patient after another. Each participant contributed for the most part with enthusiasm and a generous sense of curiosity. My two Supervisors Dr Trudy Rudge and Dr Sandra West were great, two amazing minds. Thank you both for your generosity of spirit as you were wonderfully supportive, shared ideas, albeit try as hard as I could, no sharing of “answers”. You stretched my thinking when I thought the elasticity was over but presto the emergence of insights and new ways of thinking, more rewriting and rewriting, albeit so very worthwhile. Thank you to colleagues who generously shared their PhD experiences, ideas, thinking and philosophical perspectives never mind a few rowdy discussions; thank you Olga, Denise and Rochelle in particular! Anne you have been and continue to be an inspiration as you engaged with me in some rather intriguing aha moments and terrifying although rewarding insights always with a side of laughter. Clare, you lived up to your name as someone who lit up my thinking with our great conversations as we reached for clarity in our wonderings about life, always refreshing.

  • An Open Letter to the Australian Public from the Undersigned Staff of the University of Sydney
    An open letter to the Australian public from the undersigned staff of the University of Sydney. We write this letter motivated by a sense of grave concern over circumstances at Nauru, Manus Island and other Australian mandatory detention centres for refugees. As members of an academic institution that is situated at the forefront of Australian social and cultural life, we feel it is our duty to express this concern, hoping that—together with similar efforts by others—it will serve as a catalyst for positive action and change. Allegations of torture and more generally mistreatment of refugees by Department of Immigration and Border Protection employees and contractors have been and continue to be made public over the last several years. Initially, perhaps, such allegations were dismissed by Australian citizens, in disbelief that such repugnant acts could be committed by a society that perceives itself to be just and humane. The mounting evidence, however, of torture and abuse—including testimonies given by refugees themselves, as well as evidence submitted by former employees and contractors who worked in detention centres—is overwhelming. We find it abhorrent that the Australian Government has passed a law, the Australian Border Force Act 2015 that came into effect on July 1st, threatening its citizens with prosecution and up to two years imprisonment for publicly disclosing details relating to these conditions. The context that the Act deals with—circumstances in immigration detention centres—has nothing whatsoever to do with national security. We are deeply distressed at the erosion of our society’s democratic ethos and of its core freedoms that such legislation represents.

  • Recollections of a Glebe Society Founding Member by Dennis Mcmanus
    th Issue 3 of 2019 (May 2019) ISSN 1836-599X Recollections of a Glebe Society founding member by Dennis McManus A member of the Glebe house was owned by a friend and fellow trainee Society recently told me of the town planner and later landscape architect, garden 50th anniversary celebrations presenter, writer and lecturer, John Stowar. to be held this year. The internet site for the Society shows all of the wonderful work you are now doing. Amazing to me is that you have on-line all of the Society's Bulletins back to the very first Dennis McManus one in July 1969 – all wonderfully accessible at the click of a button by year and issue. And these of course have brought back many memories and emotions. I was a founding member of the Society in 1969 attending the first meetings at the homes of Bernard Smith (1916-2011) and Kate (Challis) Smith (1915-1989) at 23 Avenue Rd and Rob and Sandra Darroch in Toxteth Rd. Old records of mine show that I was a paid up member at the time of the first General Meeting of the Society on June 19, 1969 at $2! As a piece of trivia comparison the 1969 annual fee for the National Trust was $3, Choice Magazine $4 and the NSW Ambulance Service $3. In December 1966 I started work at age 21 as a planning assistant with the then new State Planning Authority of NSW on the fourth floor of the Mark Foys Building in Goulburn St. In 1968 I moved to Glebe to be closer to work and the University where I was completing a degree.
