Deep conversations: telling history through Country

Presented by ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences

How might history be told through Country? In what ways might Country speak? Country is more than the backdrop for history; it is an active participant within both its stories and their telling.

In this roundtable discussion chaired by Rebe Taylor, historians Lorina Barker, Peter Read, and Ann McGrath along with collaborators from the Taragara project "Gari: Stories Country Tells" share how historians might engage with Country in their research and writing.

Deep conversations: history, environment, science series is a partnership of the Research Centre for Deep History and Centre for Environmental History. It aims to bring together scholars from diverse disciplines to discuss questions of history, science and the environment, and how they shed light on the global challenges we face today.
