How Exceptional is SA - Really?
About
Historians tend to be myth-busters when it comes to popular generalisations. When it comes to ‘South Australian exceptionalism’, however, few historians refute the state’s many achievements in social and political reform, including votes for women, anti-discrimination laws protecting the rights of First Nations and LGBTQIA+ people – even legalising nude bathing!In the final Talking History event for 2024 three panellists reflect on this impressive track-record before considering if South Australia can really claim to be ‘exceptional’ today?
Speakers: Prof. Christine Garnaut (University of South Australia), Professor Alan Reid (University of South Australia), Elizabeth Ho OAM (Chair, History Trust SA).
Chair: Dr Kiera Lindsey, History Trust of South Australia's History Advocate
