THE PROGRAM

The History Program has for many years been a major centre for research in the social, cultural, and political history of Australia and related societies. Over the past few years, it has developed important new focuses on environmental, Indigenous, biography and gender history.

All members of the History Program have significant international profiles within the historical profession as a result of their success in applying these techniques and their innovative approaches to the study of particular problems and periods. They also make significant contributions to public debate and the formulation of public policy.
