(Re)Viewing History ReViewing History invites historians to assess the state of History. What are the debates? What are the challenges? How are academic historians responding to challenges? The theme also invites discussion about popular interest in History as explored through films, literature and 'reality' documentaries. Do these modes challenge academic historians? There are many sub-themes and presenters are encouraged to consider their area of interest from the perspective of ReViewing History. As the conference coincides with NAIDOC Week, papers dealing with Indigenous issues are especially welcome. Sub-themes:
History through literature and film History for children Teaching history in schools Biography Engagements with popular history Identities Memory as history Indigenous histories and Indigenous knowledge Colonial encounters Rural and agricultural history Place and history Heritage and history Historical archaeology Economic, business and industrial history Parochialism: Centre and periphery Transnational comparative history Historians and the law Emotions and emotional communities Intellectual disability and histories of insanity Bodies, sexuality, gender Health and medicine Histories of the family including adoption The AHA is pleased to announce that the 2011 Regional Conference will be held at the University of Tasmania, Launceston.
