JILL ROE PRIZE
The Australian Historical Association has launched a fund-raising campaign to support the inauguration of a new prize for postgraduate students to honour Professor Emerita Jill Roe, an eminent Australian historian, who has made a very significant contribution to the writing, teaching and public communication of history in Australia and abroad. She has served two terms as President of the AHA, between 1998 and 2002 and held the Chair in Australian Studies at Harvard University between 1994 and 1995. She was also an Honorary Visiting Fellow at the Schlesinger Library, Radcliff College in 1999. She served as Chair of the Editorial Board of the Australian Dictionary of Biography from 1996 until 2006, an Associate Editor of a Supplementary Volume (2005), and is an ongoing member of the ADB's NSW Working Party.
Jill's many publications include the prize winning Stella Miles Franklin: A Biography, which was awarded the Queensland Premier's History Book Prize 2009, the South Australian Premier's Non-Fiction prize and the Magarey Medal for Biography in 2010.
The 'Jill Roe prize' will be awarded for the best article published in History Australia each year by a postgraduate student.
