I thought I would draw your attention to two forthcoming presentations at the Institute of Historical Research in London.
On 29 January, Dr Jatinder Mann (King’s College London, Menzies Centre for Australian Studies), will present a paper called “ ‘To the last man and the last shilling’ and ‘Ready, aye ready’: A comparison of the conscription debates in Australia and Canada during the First World War” to the military history seminar at the institute. A podcast of his talk will be placed online within a few days.
On 11 June, Dr Mann will present “The British World during the First World War: Australia, Canada and New Zealand and the question of Japan” to the international history seminar at the institute.
Dr Mann is a postdoctoral research fellow at Menzies Centre for Australian Studies at King’s College, University of London. He defended his PhD at the University of Sydney in 2011. His publications include: “The introduction of multiculturalism in Canada and Australia, 1960s-1970s”.Nations and Nationalism, vol. 18, no. 3, July 2012. And “The evolution of Commonwealth citizenship, 1945-48 in Canada, Britain and Australia”. Commonwealth & Comparative Politics (CCP), vol. 50, no. 3, July 2012: 293-314.
