ASSLH Conference – The Spirit of 1975: Transformations in Australian Labour History

In 2025, the Melbourne Branch of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History (ASSLH) will host the Society’s 19th Biennial Conference.

The conference commemorates the 50th anniversary of the International Women’s Year, the dismissal of the Whitlam Government, and the end of the American War in Vietnam.

The Spirit of 1975: Transformations in Australian Labour History invites historians and activists to take up this theme, as well as addressing wider issues and developments epitomised by the events of the 1970s in politics, protests, ideas, and cultural and social movements in Australia and abroad.

Keynote Speakers: Michelle Arrow, Frank Bongiorno, and Jenny Hocking. Also featured are two exhibitions by Neale Towart and Sam Wallman.
