'Professor Stuart Macintyre passed away on 22 November 2021 after a determined but ultimately unsuccessful battle with cancer. He is mourned by many. His immediate and extended family — of whom he was immensely proud and spoke often — naturally grieve his loss more than anyone else. Beyond that lies a circle of his best friends and close academic collaborators, people with whom Stuart worked closely on topics as diverse as communism in Australia, the history of Melbourne University, working-class politics, the History Wars, and so much more.'
