Abstract

This essay explores the familial and historical circumstances that shaped my pursuit of historical research and, subsequently, underpinned my discontent with some of the practices that surrounded it at Australian universities from the 1970s through to the 1990s. I explore some of the ideas and inspirations that drove my research on childhood, the writing of a volume of the Oxford History of Australia, as well as my engagement with and support for Aboriginal History at the University of Sydney.
