SUMMARY:WRITING HISTORY GROUP
DESCRIPTION:Dr Cheryl Griffin leads this group which has been meeting since 2020. \nThis group is for people who are tackling writing a history project or two and want a sounding board / source of information / guidance and HELP! Each month from February to November Cheryl convenes the group via Zoom for 90 minutes and they will attack a particular aspect of writing history and also be a sounding board for members problems / queries. Cheryl also has guest writers drop in to talk about their work and how they’ve dealt with thorny issues. \nThis writing group has a cap on the numbers who can join as we don’t want it to get too unwieldy where questions can’t be answered nor feedback given. Ongoing attendance is encouraged. The group dynamic doesn’t work if you can only drop in to a couple of sessions or you don’t have a current project on which you are working. \nSo\, if you are a newcomer and are interested in joining\, please RSVP for the Feb session and we’ll let you know if we have reached the limit of the group or not. \n\nTue 28 Feb\, 2023 11:30 – 1pm AEDT\nTue 28 Mar\, 2023 11:30 – 1pm AEDT\nTue 18 Apr\, 2023 11:30 – 1pm AEST (a week early to avoid Anzac Day)\nTue 23 May\, 2023 11:30 – 1pm AEST\nTue 27 Jun\, 2023 11:30- 1pm AEST\nTue 25 Jul\, 2023 11:30- 1pm AEST\nTue 22 Aug\, 2023 11:30- 1pm AEST\nTue 26 Sep\, 2023 11:30- 1pm AEST\nTue 24 Oct\, 2023 11:30 – 1pm AEDT\nTue 28 Nov\, 2023 11:30 – 1pm AEDT\nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZAkcO-rpjgjE9xC-Djyq2jCCSkdiwv1SZNl/ics?icsToken=98tyKuGspzwsGdyWuRCPRpwIHY_CM-nxiHZEj_pFv1LBCTlCMAnVFdFJNrtoBonjJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84976383998?pwd=T3ZmRGplWjY0SmI4M1hEQVBkQ0JnQT09Meeting ID: 849 7638 3998\nPasscode: 634475

SUMMARY:HUGH ANDERSON LECTURE DELIVERED BY PROFESSOR SHEILA FITZPATRICK
DESCRIPTION:Haven for Holocaust Survivors: “Wanda Court”\, a Melbourne Suburban Ethnography of the 1940s and ’50s\nWe are thrilled that eminent historian Professor Sheila Fitzpatrick will deliver the 2nd Hugh Anderson Lecture in the RHSV’s Distinguished Lecturer series. Sheila turns her historian’s gaze to the block of flats where she grew up and where most other residents were European Jewish refugees.  \nSheila Fitzpatrick is primarily a historian of modern Russia\, especially the Stalin period\, who received her B.A. (Hons.) at the University of Melbourne and her D. Phil. at St. Antony’s College\, Oxford. In recent years she has added a transnational dimension with her research on Russian migration to Australia. She received a Mellon Foundation Distinguished Achievement Award in 2002 and the American Historical Association’s Award for Scholarly Distinction in 2012. She is past President of the Association for Slavic\, East European and Eurasian Studies (formerly AAASS) and a member of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She was based in the US for many years\, latterly as Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago\, before her return to Australia in 2012. \nHer recent books include Tear off the Masks! Identity and Imposture in Twentieth-Century Russia (2005)\, A Spy in the Archives: A Memoir of Cold-War Russia (2014); On Stalin’s Team: the Years of Living Dangerously in Soviet Politics (co-winner of 2016 Prime Minister’s Award for Non-Fiction)\, and Mischka’s War: A European Odyssey of the 1940s (2017\, short-listed for 2018 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction). With Mark Edele and Atina Grossmann\, she co-edited and co-authored Shelter From the Holocaust. Rethinking Jewish Survival in the Soviet Union (2017). Her book\, White Russians\, Red Peril: A Cold War History of Migration was published by Black\, Inc.\, Melbourne\, in 2021; followed by The Shortest History of the Soviet Union in 2022. She is currently working on a monograph\, Displacement: Repatriation and Resettlement of Russian and Soviet Displaced Persons after the Second World War\, and a biography of Lenin’s wife\, Nadezhda Krupskaya. \nHugh Anderson (1927-2017) was a scholar of formidable breadth\, productivity and versatility. While it is as a folklorist that he is arguably best known both in Australia and abroad\, Anderson’s prolific output also included biography\, bibliography\, history\, school textbooks and documentary collections. His range of interests was very wide: Anderson seemed as comfortable in writing about John Pascoe Fawkner as Squizzy Taylor\, as at home with an Aboriginal gumleaf player and a Sydney street poet as with the exquisite verse of John Shaw Neilson or the stately poetry of Bernard O’Dowd. Anderson’s historical and biographical writing incorporated many of the materials\, perspectives and insights derived from folklore studies\, and he treated literary creativity as central to telling the Melbourne\, Victorian and Australian stories. Anderson’s boundary-riding between history\, biography\, folklore and literature was remarkably productive for him\, and it was not unusual among writers with his radical-nationalist politics in the middle decades of the twentieth century. (An edited version of material written by Professor Frank Bongiorno) \n  \nThis event is offered both in person at the RHSV and also via ZOOM. Those who are attending by ZOOM will be sent their log-in details 24 hours prior to the event. \nAs with all RHSV events\, we serve refreshments from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture will start. 6pm is also when the ZOOM broadcast will start. \nPhoto: courtesy of ABC Radio\, Conversations with Richard Fidler.
