From sanatoria to urban bushland: An environmental history of Melbourne’s former sites of tuberculosis treatment.

May 26, 2021 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

A talk by Environmental Historian, Rebecca Le Get.
Rebecca Le Get is an independent scholar and environmental historian. She is
interested in how tuberculosis and its treatment has influenced the
development of green spaces and bushland reserves in suburban Melbourne.
Were it not for these forests being selected for healthcare, it is uncertain if
these areas of bushland would have persisted into the present.
