How Exceptional is SA - Really?
Location
Bradley Forum, Hawke Building, UniSA City West Campus
About
Historians tend to be myth-busters when it comes to popular generalisations. When it comes to ‘South Australian exceptionalism’, however, few historians refute the state’s many achievements in social and political reform, including votes for women, anti-discrimination laws protecting the rights of First Nations and LGBTQIA+ people – even legalising nude bathing!
In the final Talking History event for 2024 three panellists reflect on this impressive track-record before considering if South Australia can really claim to be ‘exceptional’ today?
Speakers: Prof. Christine Garnaut (University of South Australia), Professor Alan Reid (University of South Australia), Elizabeth Ho OAM (Chair, History Trust SA).
Chair: Dr Kiera Lindsey, History Trust of South Australia's History Advocate
Date: Tuesday 10 September 2024
Time: 5.45pm – 8.00pm
Refreshments available from 5.45pm to 6.15pm. This is an interactive event with a Q&A at the end.
