Speaker: Associate Professor John Kinder, Italian Studies, UWA
Italians migrated to Western Australia from the earliest days of European settlement. They were a fascinating and mixed assortment of individuals who contributed to the dynamic cultural diversity of early Western Australia. Against this background, the lecture will trace how Italian became a university subject in the 1920s – at the Universities of Sydney and Melbourne and, before them, at The University of Western Australia.
