AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This article discusses the personal factors which influenced my decision to become a historian. It traces the impact of my family background and the diverse cultural and parental influences of my childhood on my growing awareness of social, racial and political issues. These, I suggest inspired my later focus on social, political and gender history. The piece then goes on to discuss the impact on my historical interests and perspectives of my education at Oberlin College and the University of Wisconsin and of my experience living and teaching in Paris while researching and writing my PhD. It concludes with my choice to come to the University of Melbourne and my arrival there in 1974.'  (Publication abstract)

    'Our second issue still benefits from the hard work of our predecessors, the Flinders editorial team. We were delighted to delve into the eight articles accepted for this issue and discuss with the authors the best ways to highlight their contributions. We are especially thrilled to lead off the issue with Paul Sendziuk and Martin Crotty’s report on their investigation into history curricula in Australian and New Zealand universities. In response to the grandiose claims made recently by the Institute of Public Affairs that our universities teach fragmented and parochial history, Sendziuk and Crotty found instead that comprehensive surveys are alive and well. Read further to find out the details of what we actually teach in history lecture theatres across the Tasman world.' (Editorial introduction)
