Associate Professor Penny Russell wins Australian History Prize - NSW Premier's History Awards
Associate Professor Penny Russell, co-editor of History Australia, has won the Australian History Prize - NSW Premier's History Awards - for her book, Savage or Civilised? Manners in Colonial Australia (UNSW Press).
Professor Warwick Anderson awarded Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship
The AHA congratulates Warwick Anderson, a professor in the Department of History at the University of Sydney, who has been awarded an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship (2012-16) - the only historian to receive one. His project aims to reveal intense scientific debate about what it meant to be human in the southern hemisphere during the twentieth century, placing Australian racial thought in a new context. Through comparative study, it shows the distinctive character and scope of racial ideas in southern settler societies, and assesses their global impact. The $2.125 million research award includes funding for at least 2 post-doctoral fellows and 2 PhD scholarships over its five-year duration.
