Funded Activity Summary

A comparative study of history education in Australia and Canada, examining the relationship between school history and broader historical debates. Debates on history and history teaching in both nations have oscillated back and forth in a way that has generated more heat than light, frequently placing undue and unprofessional curriculum pressure on teachers of history at all levels. This project will produce an exhaustive and research-based assessment of what kinds of histories are being taught in schools and how they are being taught at a time when good history teaching is regarded as a vital political and cultural asset. The results will be outlined in a way that will lead to informed discussion of the nature of this crucial discipline.
