22nd October Professor Kate Fullagar will speak about her book,
Bennelong and Phillip: a History Unravelled.

The book provides the first joint biography of Bennelong and Governor Arthur Phillip, two pivotal figures in Australian history. Fullagar's account challenges many misconceptions, among them that Bennelong became alienated from his people and that Phillip was a paragon of Enlightenment benevolence. To present this history afresh, Bennelong & Phillip relates events in reverse, moving beyond the limitations of typical Western ways of writing about the past, which have long privileged the coloniser over the colonised.

Kate Fullagar is currently Professor of History at the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences, in the Australian Catholic University, and co-editor of the journal History Australia. Her book The Warrior, The Voyager and the Artist won the Douglas Stewart Prize for Non-Fiction at the 2021 NSW Premier's Awards. This is a free event so please join us for a lively evening accompanied by a glass of wine and cheese.

The symbols of a nation never stand still – they are constantly changing, despite the desire to think of them as immovable. This illustrated talk surveys a range of Australia’s national symbols, from the formal to the popular, the commercial and the humorous, examining their origins, their many and varied meanings, and how they have changed over time.

Richard White taught Australian history and the history of travel and tourism at the University of Sydney from 1989 to 2013. His publications include Inventing Australia, The Oxford Book of Australian Travel Writing and On Holidays: A History of Getting Away in Australia. His current research interests include the history of tourism’ in Australia and the history of the cooee, but he has to admit he spends more time in the garden than at a desk. A new edition of Symbols of Australia (co-edited with Melissa Harper and first published in 2010) appeared in 2021.
