  • The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction
    The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction A series of lesson plans on war for Year 9 and 10 students created through a partner- ship between the Medical Association for Prevention of War, its project partner Act for Peace and the History Teachers’ Association of Victoria. The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction INTRODUCTION History teachers often struggle with lessons about war. Conflicts have shaped the ancient and modern world and it is important that students are aware of the role of conflicts in the history of civilisation. In addition to developing a world view, teachers hope that understanding the history of war will help future generations learn from the actions of their ancestors. However, many teachers are concerned that unless approached sensitively, the focus on war in the classroom can have the opposite effect, causing students to glorify it. This unique set of resources has been developed from the perspectives of medical practitioners, many of them also war veterans. It helps students focus on the physical and mental costs of war, aspects of conflict often marginalised by larger themes of mateship and national pride. Students will learn about the often silent effects of war: injury, mental illness and disease. ABOUT THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION FOR PREVENTION OF WAR The Medical Association for Prevention of War (Australia) is a professional not-for-profit organisation that works to promote peace and disarmament. MAPW aims to reduce the physical and psychological impact, as well as environmental effect, of wars throughout the world. MAPW has branches in every state and territory in Australia. The members of MAPW are mostly medical practitioners who use their understanding of world medical issues in the campaign to prevent war using diplomatic channels rather than armed combat.

  • Irish Studies in Australia and New Zealand Dianne
    Irish Studies in Australia and New Zealand Dianne Hall (University of Victoria) and Ronan McDonald (University of Melbourne) Internationally, Irish studies tends to thrive where the Irish diaspora settled: Boston, New York, Liverpool, London, Montreal. Yet one could not say that Irish studies in Australia is especially robust, particularly when looked at comparatively.1 We will attempt to answer why that is so in this brief survey, addressing institutional and cultural factors and also the historic relationship between Ireland and Australia, which has produced a strange mix of familiarity and distance between the two countries. While Australia received far fewer Irish migrants than the more proximate Britain and USA, the proportionate Irish influence in Australia is unmatched. In 1901 at the time of the Federation of the separate colonies that made up Australia, one quarter of the white population of 3.8 million were of Irish birth or descent. Among the white European population, the Irish were second only to the English, forming a substantial and important minority.2 Visiting Irish politicians now refer to this by routinely calling Australia the most ‘most Irish country outside of Ireland’. There is, then, great overlap between the story of the global Irish and that of the development of the Australian nation since European settlement. Australia is far from Ireland geographically, but much closer culturally. In Australia the majority of the Catholic settlers were Irish, and the majority of Irish Catholic, arriving into a majority Protestant colony. This was different to Canada, which also attracted a significant proportion of Irish Protestant migrants and had a substantial ethnically French Catholic settler population.

Recent Australian Irish research papers, 1998-2007 Paper for 15th Irish-Australian Conference La Trobe University 23-26 September 2007 Dr Val Noone Fellow, School of Historical Studies, University of Melbourne Address: PO Box 51, Fitzroy 3065, Australia Tel: 61-3-9419 8631 e-mail: <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: This paper surveys recent wide-ranging and energetic research into connections between Australia and Ireland. Building on my previous bibliographical survey presented to the La Trobe 1998 Irish-Australian conference, the paper will analyse the contents of Irish- Australian conference proceedings, the Australian Journal of Irish Studies and selected other collections. The paper re-affirms the importance of bibliographical work and argues that the failure to publish proceedings of the Perth 2000 and Melbourne 2004 conferences has weakened the community of Australian Irish researchers. The bulk of the paper consists of an analytical bibliography of 348 research papers on Irish Australian topics of the past decade. © Copyright Val Noone 2007 1 CONTENTS Bibliographies as intellectual maps..................................................... 3 Recent Irish Australian conferences .......................................... 4 Growth and a publication failure............................................... 5 Founding of Australian Journal of Irish Studies .......................... 5 Papers which were not published.......................................................

Australian historians since the 1960s have cast doubt on this claim. A more subtle effect of the tumultuous events in Dublin at Easter 1916 was suggested by Patrick O’Farrell: the Easter Rising brought to an end the Irish Home Rule movement in Australia, to be replaced not by republicanism but ‘by nothing’. What then might remain of the Easter Rising in Australian history and memory?
