Event Description
- Full Description:
- The University of Queensland's School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry invite you to re-visit the essence of Queensland’s culture and politics during the 1980s through an exhibition, film screening and panel discussion.
A Sunshine State? Remembering Queensland’s 1980s reflects on the volatile culture and politics of Australia’s ‘Deep North’ during this pivotal era. Was Queensland different, and if so, what kind of difference? Who are the heroes and villains, those we can’t forget and those we should remember? What exactly did we show the world at Expo ’88 and through the Fitzgerald Inquiry?
The symposium will include an original film, We’ll Show the World, Expo 88, by Jackie Ryan (HPI PhD graduate), an exhibition of items from the Fryer Library, refreshments and a panel discussion with key speakers: Matt Condon, Professor Frank Bongiorno, Dr Jackie Ryan, facilitated by Dr Geoff Ginn, School of Historical & Philosophical Inquiry.
Register by Friday 4 October via eventbrite.
