History Council WA

We urge all #twitterstorians to call on the Australian Govt to rethink its proposal for funding the study of history in universities. @WAHistccl @history_sa @HistoryNSW @AustHistAssoc @HumanitiesAU @AcadSocSci @ProfHistAus @PHAVicTas @HTAVed @historyvictoria @FAHSHistory @auspol

The History Council of WA is concerned by the Commonwealth Government's proposal to reduce funding and increase fees for university History units. See our Media Release.

A Letter to the Editor by HCV Chair, Prof @PeterMcPhee7, is in The Age today (17 June 2020, pp. 16-17), titled: Use your powers. #auspol @ScottMorrisonMP @sussanley @WAHistccl @history_sa @HistoryNSW

“This is potentially the greatest hit to Australia’s humanities sector in a century”, said Professor Joy Damousi, President of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
