On Saturday 7 September 2024 commencing at 10.30am, the Blue Mountains Historical Society will conduct its monthly meeting and public talk at their Hobby's Reach Research Rooms at 99 Blaxland Road, Wentworth Falls.
The speaker on this occasion will be Dr Meg Foster, the Chancellor's Research Fellow in the Social and Political Sciences Faculty at the University of Technology, Sydney.
In June, Dr Foster also commenced a Top 5 Residency with ABC National Radio awarded to "dynamic early career PhD scholars with flair and passion for communicating their work to a non-academic audience".
Dr Foster's research and published material focusses on banditry, settler, colonial and public history, with a particular interest in Australian bushranging.
Her talk will be based on her 2022 book, "Boundary Crossers: The Hidden History of Australia's other Bushrangers" which was shortlisted for the Magarey Medal in Biography in 2024. Her latest article, published in May 2024, is entitled "Bandits, Heroes and Villains: A view from a settler colony".
Dr Foster's talk is a not to be missed event.
Morning tea is available from 10.00am.
