Writing Histories 2023 - HCNSW Careers in History

Welcome to the recorded version of the History Council of New South Wales’ ‘Writing Histories’ panel, recorded via zoom on the 9th of November 2023. History isn't just about dusty old books and dates, it's about sharing the tales of our past with the world. But how do historians make sure their stories reach a wide audience? How do we pen our words for different readers? The HCNSW called on some of the brightest minds in history to share about how they've shared their research with a variety of audiences, inspired by their recently published books. Our panel will chat about both classic and cutting-edge ways to spread the word about historical events, people and themes, while also dishing out advice for other writers who want to carve their own paths.The History Council of New South Wales extends sincere thanks to Dr. Leah Lui-Chivizhe, Dr. Kiera Lindsey, and Professor Kate Fullagar for their time and expertise. Thanks to the many people who attended, for your questions, and to the many more who have just tuned in now. The History Council is supported by funding from Create New South Wales, and by our members.
