Description:
One of Australia's leading scholars and a highly
distinguished professor of history, Marilyn Lake forged a career that spanned
several decades across a number of universities. Her
books have significantly advanced our understandings, not only of Australian
social, cultural and political history but also of the interdependence of that
history with those of Britain, the US and the Asia–Pacific.
Lake's intellectual endeavours have encompassed many
subjects over her illustrious career. She has made significant contribution to
several fields including the impact of war and the history of Anzac, the
history of feminism and women's history, gender, post-colonialism, race
relations and racial identities, transnationalism and internationalism, human
rights, biography, labour history, progressivist social reform, and settler
colonialism.
The chapters in this book span
the breadth of Lake's scholarly influence on the directions historical research
is taking today, and are based on papers by overseas colleagues and Australian
scholars abroad, which were presented at a
Festschrift held at the University of Melbourne over two days in December 2016.
Lake has made an outstanding contribution to the history
discipline, to the Australian academy, and to the community in promoting
Australian history nationally and internationally. This
volume is a tribute to her work and a recognition of her enduring influence and
leadership in the profession.
