AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Kenneth Stanley Inglis died of pancreatic cancer on 1 December 2017. He continued to write until a few days before his death, imparting careful instructions to Jay Winter and Seamus Spark, on their collective two-volume biography of the 'Dunera Boys'. It says much about Ken Inglis that his last work was a collaborative endeavour, and a project that profiled the talent of both established and early career scholars. As Frank Bongiorno, one of many grateful students, has noted, the measure of Inglis' scholarship is not just the distinctive contribution he made to our discipline, but the opportunities he created all his life for others.'  (Introduction)

    'This issue of Australian Historical Studies opens with two articles that explore the struggles for the recognition of human rights, including the protection offered for women and children, in Australia's recent history. From today's vantage point, looking back to the experiences and politics of the 1970s is a reminder of how far we have advanced as a society when it comes to such issues as the acknowledgement of child sexual abuse and gender equity in the workplace and the wider community. But it is also sobering to see that many of the concerns about the status and safety of women and children that were expressed almost five decades ago have not been fully addressed in 2018. One lesson we can draw from the past is that social change can be slow and halting, even when the need for reform is compelling.' (Kate Darian-Smith  & Penelope Edmonds; Introduction)
