To better understand how historians are affected by casualisation in the tertiary education sector, the AHA is undertaking a survey among members and non-members of the association. The survey runs from 1 to 31 March 2019.
Purpose of the survey:
• To gain more direct understanding of the experiences of casual academics regarding the nature of their employment and its impact on their career path.
• To consider ways in which problems encountered by casual teaching and research staff could be addressed.
• To facilitate wider discussion regarding casualisation among the History profession and beyond.
• The survey is specifically designed to identify and address issues relating to casualisation within the history discipline at tertiary institutions. Nonetheless, casual staff whose tertiary training has been chiefly in the field of history and who are currently working in other disciplines or workplaces are encouraged to complete those questions that apply to their circumstances.

Answers provided to this survey are anonymous. This survey is conducted by Dr Romain Fathi and Dr Lyndon Megarrity, on behalf of the Australian Historical Association Executive. Romain and Lyndon are current members of the AHA Executive Committee (2018-20), Teaching and Learning Portfolio.
We invite all historians in a casual position to take part in the survey.
