Lecture – Working Lives: Stories from the Immigration Museum’s Collection

Melbourne Museum 11 Nicholson St, Carlton, VIC, Australia

Working life stories from the past and present told through the Immigration Museum’s diverse collections. Work remains a cornerstone of identity for many of us. Yet the ways we think about work continues to evolve.  Work can shape and share ideas of community, gender, memory, creativity, sexuality, activism, ethnicity, and our sense of individual and collective value. Work also acts as a thread that connects us to people, places, and other times.

Seeds of Concrete Progress: Grain Elevators and Technology Transfer between America and Australia

RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Modern concrete silos and grain elevators are a persistent source of interest and fascination for architects, industrial archaeologists, painters, photographers, and artists. The legacy of the Australian examples of the early 1900s is appreciated primarily by a popular culture that allocates value to these structures on aesthetic grounds. Several aspects of construction history associated with this early modern form of civil engineering have been less explored.

“Trust me on This”

RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Event presented by the Fellows’ Group of the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne. Social Trust is an important glue binding societies together.  For just one example, countries with high trust levels had significantly better results in tackling Covid.  And trust has also been a powerful driver of economic development.  But there is another side – high levels of trust also create opportunities for the shyster, those benefiting from spreading mistrust. In this wide-ranging talk, Tony Ward discusses the nature of social trust.  He also argues that some, especially economic, developments are now working to diminish trust.
