Revisiting key educational battles of the 1970s and 1980s – e.g. over book banning and IQ testing – the seminar will examine the ‘grassroots’ strategies of a loose coalition of conservative groups and individuals. These conservatives, like many today, understood their purpose as rescuing Australian schoolchildren from the influence of what they proposed was a leftist takeover of the nation’s public institutions.Note:The seminar is an outcome of the project: Community organising in Australian education policy, 1970s-1980s, Proctor H, Gerrard J, Goodwin S, Australian Research Council (ARC)/Discovery Projects (DP). ‘On the “Right” Side of the ‘70s: How conservative activists sought to reshape Australian schooling in the 1970s and 1980s and what it means for today’ was the Theodore Fink Memorial Seminar, held in March 2025, University of MelbourneRefreshments: 3.30 - 4pmSeminar begins: 4pm
