65,000 Years of Place and Memory
Professor Maynard will present a Keynote address, Yuraki – 65,000 Years of Place and Memory, in Toowoomba’s historic Empire Church Theatre at the 38th Australian Historical Association (AHA) Conference.
Hosted by USQ's School of Humanities and Communication the conference will explore how local and global networks have intersected, inspired and transformed experiences within and from Australia’s history.
As part of NAIDOC week’s celebration Professor Maynard’s address will look at the histories of Indigenous Australian communities and how these networks inform, contest and shape knowledge about Australia today.
The conference theme speaks to the centrality of History for engaging with community and family networks.
Constructing livelihoods within an empire and a nation that have had a global reach, local communities have responded in diverse ways.
The varieties of historical enquiry into this past enrich our understanding of Australian and world history.
The Local Communities, Global Networks Conference draws together the latest research on the re-shaping of communities and the re-fashioning of imperial relationships and transnational in turn.
