The Honest History coalition has promoted balanced consideration of Australian history by offering contesting, evidence-based interpretations to students, teachers, universities, journalists and the public.

The symposium runs the microscope over many facets of history – the stories and the study – in the year 2018. It looks at how history is presented, how we choose our history, how historians tackle their discipline, and how we bend 'the arc of history'.

During the morning, Michael Brissenden of the ABC will launch a new book On Patriotism (Melbourne University Press) by Paul Daley, writer and Guardian Australia journalist.

Entry: $12.31 (inc.morning/afternoon tea and lunch).
