Audience
We hope to attract a wide range of cross-disciplinary delegates: professional, academic, community and family historians; museum and library professionals; students and educators; and people passionate about their industries, their places and their history. It may be possible to pre-record your presentation to be screened during the event.
Format
Subject to interest, we are keen to include presentations (up to 30 minutes in duration) for the symposium in a range of formats that encourage participation and discussion. Pre-recorded presentations can also be submitted. Your proposal might be:
A panel debate
A facilitator moderating a discussion with two or more speakers about a topic.
An ‘in conversation’
Two or more speakers come together to discuss a common idea or a theme.
6-minute HistoryX Talk
This format will suit dynamic communicators and undergraduate and postgraduate students wanting to share their research. (Think TedX talks)
Film or performance
Present a film or do a performance on your topic.
A paper with questions
Generally 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions.
Hands-on workshop
Develop an interactive workshop for participants.
Other formats
Suggestions for other formats are welcome
