The Biography Workshop was established by the National Centre of Biography in response to requests by practitioners, students and readers of biography for a forum to discuss a range of methodological issues relating to biography. The group considers recent and long-standing questions about biography and offers a forum for biographers to share their research.

From February to November 2024 we are offering ten events that cover a wide variety of topics, from the life of Australian philanthropist Mab Grimwade, to that of sporting legend Tom Wills and the entwined lives of Bennelong and Arthur Phillip. Each workshop will be conducted by an esteemed scholar and will include a presentation followed by discussion time. 

Sessions take place 11am to 12.30pm, usually on the last Thursday of the month (except 25 April). Participants can join either in person in seminar room 6.71, level 6, RSSS building, 146 Ellery Crescent, ANU, or online using this link: bit.ly/BioWorkshop2022
