History Council of WA – AGM and Annual Lecture 9 September 2020 at SLWA Theatre

Andrea Gaynor

I am really delighted to announce that Andrea Gaynor, who most of you know, has accepted my invitation to give the History Council Annual Lecture at the AGM.  She is one of the leading environmental historians in Australia. Andrea Gaynor is Associate Professor of History at the University of Western Australia. An environmental historian, she seeks to use the contextualising and narrative power of history to inform transitions to more just and sustainable societies. She is currently researching histories of water in Australian urbanisation, nature in Australian urban modernity, and community-led land management in Western Australia. At UWA she teaches environmental history and is Director of the Centre for Western Australian History; she also convenes the Australian and New Zealand Environmental History Network and is Vice-President of the European Society for Environmental History.
