The online journal The Conversation continues to traverse a wide range of subject matter. Recently, we noted:
- Ryan Goss on how our Constitution came to be written and what we should do with it next;
- Benjamin T. Jones on the early days of the White Australia policy – ironically, the dark side of the Australian pre-Great War ‘social laboratory’; and
- Nick Parr with three charts on how Australia’s population is shifting to our big cities.
If your work gets into The Conversation please let us know and we may be able to kick it along a bit to our loyal followers.
Update 11 April 2017: the Goss and Jones pieces commence a series of explainers. Here is another one by Greg Melleuish on the birth of the Liberal Party. The full set of explainers links from here.
Update 18 April 2017: more explainers on how women gained the right to vote (James Keating) and the Labor split of 1955 (Paul Strangio).
Update 19-24 April 2017 : explainer by Anne Twomey on the Dismissal, 1975. Adam Webster on funding and federalism. Anthony Forsyth and Carolyn Holbrook on the prices and incomes accord.
