Funded Activity Summary

Representing, Debating & Protesting the Nation: The Visual Legacy of Sport. Pictures of lifesavers, cricketers, footballers, and so many others have frequently been used to represent Australia to itself and the world, while other sporting images have sparked national debates about racism, and sexism. Yet there has been no broad study of the impact and legacies of Australian sporting iconography. This history will use sporting images to enrich understandings of Australia's past and present, and in particular the roles that sport plays in shaping national pride, passions, concerns, and movements for social change. The project will lead to a major exhibition, and will also develop innovative digital education resources that assist the teaching of history to primary and secondary school students throughout Australia.
