University Place, University of Sydney, Camperdown NSW 2006
When

Thursday 31 July from 6pm to 7pm

We all began our career in history with an inspirational history teacher at school.

In this conversation led by two leading history educators we will examine the challenges and complexities of history teaching in the 21st century and explore the important role history teachers play in engaging, informing and shaping the future of history and history adjacent fields. How can we help nurture the next generation of historians?

Two leading history educators, Jonathon Dallimore (HTANSW and University of New South Wales) and Professor Tim Allender (University of Sydney), will take us through some of the current issues in contemporary history education.

This presentation is part of the History Council of New South Wales’s 2025 History Now series.
