Prof. Mike Parker Pearson is one of Europe’s leading prehistorians, working in Britain, Denmark and Madagascar, and specialising in the study of later prehistory, especially Neolithic and Bronze Age society.

Author and editor of 18 volumes, plus numerous scholarly papers, Mike’s work is widely cited and he is recognised as a leading authority on death and symbolism in the prehistoric world.
He can also be seen on several episodes of Time Team and has starred in several documentaries about Stonehenge. Pioneering work in the Hebrides of Scotland was followed from 2003 by the Stonehenge Riverside Project which has revolutionised our understanding of the history, use and significance of one of the world’s most famous and intriguing archaeological monuments. His research continues apace at Stonehenge and is also revising our understanding of the Beaker people. UQ welcomes Mike to Australia for the first time as our 7th Hall speaker.

The two‑day gathering will kick off by paying respects to our first leaders and by recognising their foundational work as pivotal to the next generations who are charged with keeping the fires burning.

From there, the focus will turn towards the future and how emerging and seasoned campaigners agitate for change from new physical and conceptual sites armed with new tools.

This includes electronic advocacy and social media, the proliferation of Indigenous-led institutes and the pervasive voices and self-representation of our people across areas such as politics, law, education, media and the arts. A session on how the arts have influenced change will feature singer songwriter Kutcha Edwards.

International partnerships with First Nations people of Asia-Pacific will broaden the debate to countries where there is a shared history of colonisation and resistance, and where different pathways towards Recognition have been taken.


A celebratory Cabaret Dinner will be held on Wednesday 10 July featuring Diva D with Emma Donovan, Deline Briscoe and Neda; comedian Kevin Kropinyeri and flamboyant drag queen Constantina Bush and her Bushettes.


Inside Out – New Actions for Change by first Australians is a Centenary of Canberra project in collaboration with AIATSIS, proudly supported by the ACT Government and the Australian Government along with the National Museum of Australia, the National Convention Centre and Crowne Plaza Hotel Canberra.

Since the days of Ancient Civilisations the world has been shaped by the rise and fall of empires, the disputes of faith and the outbreak of conflict.

From Mesopotamia to Rome and Byzantium to Gallipoli, civilisations have been shaped by three critical elements: empire, faith and conflict. Perhaps more than any other period of world history, the past century has seen empires brought to their knees, faith pitted against faith, and conflict sweep the globe. On the eve of the centenary of the Great War, the World History Association, the Australian Historical Association and the University of Notre Dame Australia invite you to join us for a unique opportunity to examine the intersection of empire, faith and conflict in world history, and their impact in shaping the modern world.

Papers are invited from scholars and postgraduate students of all historical traditions, periods and genres, including the Ancient, Medieval and Modern ages. Session themes might include (but are not limited to) imperialism; science and faith; ission; church history; military history; gender studies; colonisation and post-colonialism; trans-national, regional and national histories; historiography; art, artefacts and visual evidence; strategy, security, terrorism and diplomacy; faith in war; and myth and legend.

Conference themes will highlight the variety and significance of our underwater heritage in Australian waters and overseas, and the significant positive value that Australia’s ratification would have in the region.

Keynote speakers include Professor of Public International Law Mariano J Aznar-Gomez.

As you know we\'ve already put out the Call for Papers but here\'s a little more about what\'s planned for the conference itself.

We\'ve chosen the main topic Contexts for Conservation so that we can explore the roles of conservation and conservators within a variety of wider contexts. We are aiming to tease out discussions about the many varied connections and relationships conservators encounter in their work—from close working relationships with curators and collection managers in cultural institutions— to private citizens caring for their own collections—to the much broader involvement with national and international cultural and heritage issues.

We\'ll take an interdisciplinary approach in considering the activities, ideas and challenges of the conservation profession in the present and into the future.

Some of the proposed contexts include:

• The creators - working with artists and craftspeople

• The collaborators – curators, collection managers and the cultural organisations

• The places - heritage places and buildings and the professionals who manage them (relationships with heritage organisations)

• The community – supporting the preservation of cultural identity (disaster response, conservation education and local engagement)

• The Government; local and national - policy and planning for culture and heritage (National Cultural Policy)

• The World – the place of Australia in the international profession (especially within the South-east Asian region)

• The frameworks – philosophy, ethics and ways of contributing to cultural thinking

• The digital – digital conservation and conservation/preservation of the digital

• The commercial – conservation funding and philanthropy


We want the National Conference to be a forum for showcasing innovation in the ways in which conservators already work within these larger frameworks, as well as highlighting the importance of increasingly flexible, cohesive and contemporary methods of meeting future challenges of engaging in wider contexts.

There\'ll be a great range of presentations and activities which will encompass a broad range of collaborations and contexts for conservation and will focus on building partnerships and engaging the profession within a wider culture and heritage perspective. Sessions on conservation research, practice and treatment will also be presented, with an emphasis on the ways these core activities connect with wider issues and contexts.
