Professor Shurlee Swain - How historians can assist in historic child abuse inquiries

5 years ago

—

9 September 2019 - 18:00 pm - 19:30 pm Anatomy Museum, King's College London, 6th floor, King's Building, Strand, London WC2R 2LS Over the past twenty years, a growing number of countries have established national inquiries in relation to historic child abuse, encompassing investigations of abuse in residential institutions and foster-care, as well as abuse in the context of particular types of institution or specific child welfare programmes. Historical researchers have engaged with these inquiries in a range of different roles – as members of inquiry secretariats, consultants, expert witnesses and, in at least one case, as the director of a national inquiry (Prof Pirjo Markkola in Finland). This panel brings together speakers with a range of expertise across these different roles to explore what we can learn from a range of international examples about the relationship between historical research and child abuse enquiries. Amongst the questions to be explored in this session are: How important is historical knowledge for the setting of the remits and scope of inquiries? What are the challenges and limitations of using different kinds of historical material in child avuse inquiries? In what ways can inquiries succeed or fail as forms of public history in increasing public understanding of historic abuse? Speakers: Professor Pirjo Markkola (Tampere University and former director of the Finnish national child abuse inquiry) Professor Eoin O’Sullivan (Trinity College Dublin; his work with Mary Raftery on the history of abuse in Irish industrial schools led to the setting up of the Ryan Commission) Professor Johanna Sköld (Linköping University and former member of the secretariat for the Swedish Inquiry into Child Abuse and Neglect in Institutions and Foster Homes) Professor Shurlee Swain (Australian Catholic University and contributor of historical research to numerous abuse inquiries in Australia) Event organiser: Gordon Lynch is Michael Ramsey Professor of Modern Theology at the University of Kent. He has undertaken a range of research and public history projects in relation to the history of UK child migration programmes, including a national museum exhibition at the V&A Museum of Childhood and the musical project, The Ballads of Child Migration. He has served as an expert witness for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, and continues to serve in this capacity for the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.…

It pitched voluntarist ideas of ‘free collective bargaining’ against ideas of economic planning & public policy concerns about strikes, inflation and restrictive practices. The white paper followed the 1968 Donovan Report & preceded Heath’s Conservative 1971 Industrial Relations Act.

Dane Kennedy - Brexit and the legacies of empire

6 years ago

—

Dane Kennedy (National History Center): Brexit and the Legacies of Empire Although Britain lost its empire some fifty years ago, this talk will argue that the legacies of its imperial past have helped shape the debate surrounding Brexit and Britain’s future. I intend to (1) note the historical forces that brought an end to Britain’s empire and led to its belated and ambivalent entry into the European Union, (2) point out how postcolonial demographics and politics within British society gave rise to sharply divergent interpretations of the nation’s imperial past, and (3) make the case that these interpretations have shaped arguments about Britain’s future, particularly for Brexit’s most vocal advocates, whose repeated evocations of the imperial past have served as proxies for their vision of a ‘global Britain’. Dane Kennedy is Director of the National History Center of the American Historical Association and the Elmer Louis Kayser Professor of History and International Affairs at George Washington University. He is a historian of the British imperial world whose publications include The Imperial History Wars: Debating the British Empire (Bloomsbury, 2018), Decolonization: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford UP, 2016), The Last Blank Spaces: Exploring Africa and Australia (Harvard UP, 2013), and The Highly Civilized Man: Richard Burton and the Victorian World (Harvard UP, 2005). As the NHC’s director, he oversees a congressional briefing program and other initiatives designed to bring historical perspectives to policy issues.…

David Lowe - Trump tumult and the Australian-American alliance in historical perspective

6 years ago

David Lowe (Australian Policy and History): Trump tumult and the Australian-American alliance in historical perspective The Trump phenomenon has caused many governments to think hard about the nature of their relationships with the United States. In the case of Australia, amidst the shock and confusion, it may even trigger the sort of questioning of the ANZUS Security Pact (1951) that historians have thus far been unable to stir. To date, ANZUS and the oft-recalled memory of 1 million American soldiers passing through Australia in the Second World War, have constituted mnemonic foundation stones for thinking about the intertwining of American and Australian security. But just as the numbers of US war veterans have rapidly dwindled, so too does ANZUS suddenly look fragile. While it would be rash to say recent events have opened up a new space for historians in public conversation – such has been the continuing bipartisanship on the virtues of the American alliance – they have invited greater reflection. I suggest that historical perspective has much to offer at this time. Through analysis of Australian foreign policy-making and Australian-US relations at different times since the creation of ANZUS, I venture that, far from a stable ‘insurance policy’, the security pact has often shifted ground for Australian leaders. This has produced both anxiety and opportunity. The imprecision in the Australian-US security relationship has encouraged Prime Ministers to narrate its importance in ways that strengthened their leadership. The arrival of Trump might break an executive hold on the story, and enable a healthier sense of historical perspective that informs policy thinking about next steps in the relationship. David Lowe is Chair in Contemporary History at Deakin University and co-founder of the Australian Policy and History Network. He has published widely on Australia in world affairs and modern international history, including the recent book with Carola Lentz, Remembering Independence (Routledge, 2018) and the edited book The Unfinished Atomic Bomb: Shadows and Reflections (Rowman and Littlefield, 2018) with Cassandra Atherton and Alyson Miller. He is currently working on three projects: histories of Australian overseas diplomatic posts; a history of Australia’s foreign aid program; and an international history of the Colombo Plan for aid to South and Southeast Asia.…
