Rethinking Migration Histories: Australian Perspectives and Global Directions

Australian migration stories have tended to represent specific experiences of coming to Australia over our relatively short national history.

But what does rethinking stories about mobility to, from and within Australia offer historians and fellow storytellers? Leading historians discuss overlooked narratives to challenge traditional views of what migration means for Australian history. By connecting past and present, the diversity of migration stories and their implications for understanding identities, place and belonging offer fresh perspectives for nuanced research and storying of our collective past.

This session is presented by the History Council of New South Wales.
