Congratulations to Katie Barclay, Matthew Klugman and Una McIlvenna on their successful application for ARC Future Fellowships 2023

Congratulations to Katie Barclay, Matthew Klugman and Una McIlvenna on their successful application for ARC Future Fellowships 2023. Associate Professor Barclay’s project, ‘How to Feel Safe at the End of the World’, will ‘provide the first history of how early modern families created conditions to feel safe in times of crisis, revealing how ideas of safety, security and hope for the future were conceived and put into practice’. Dr Klugman’s project, ‘Representing, Debating & Protesting the Nation: The Visual Legacy of Sport’, will ‘use sporting images to enrich understandings of Australia’s past and present, and in particular the roles that sport plays in shaping national pride, passions, concerns, and movements for social change’. Dr McIlvenna’s project, ‘Singing the News: Ballads as News Media in Europe and Australia, 1550-1920’, will ‘take advantage of new digitisation projects to reveal how songs in premodern Europe and later in Australia were used for disseminating news to the public’. Congratulations Katie, Matthew and Una!
