Bursaries for 2017 Honours students

The bursaries will enable honours students to contribute to the project and increase its knowledge base. We are particularly interested in applications from students whose work will contribute to the biographical data of Expert Nation as well as the broader contextual understanding of the place of expertise in nation-building in the 1920s and 1930s. The special issue of History of Education Review (Vol. 45 No. 2, 2016) on universities, expertise and the First World War may be useful in framing honours projects.

School and Community groups

The research being undertaken in Expert Nation will add a different focus to the story of returned service people in post-war Australia.
