PHA NATIONAL CONFERENCE 2023
OTHER HISTORIES, OTHER AUDIENCES

16-17 September 2023 | Adelaide, South Australia

On 16 and 17 September 2023, PHA members from around Australia will convene in Adelaide, South Australia, for the national conference.

The theme of the conference is OTHER HISTORIES: OTHER AUDIENCES. The aim is to showcase the diversity of work undertaken by professional historians and explore challenges confronting them as they work on contracts with clients and in areas beyond the academy. Our work frequently extends from the concept stage through to production in a variety of formats.

The 2023 conference is organised by PHA (SA), who will select a range of papers, lightning talks, and panel discussions on the conference theme.The organisers intend to offer workshops on the Friday prior to the conference for early attendees and will provide the opportunity for appropriate site visits after the conference. There will be an informal dinner on the Friday evening and a formal conference dinner with a guest speaker on the Saturday evening. Full program details will be available mid-year when bookings open.

A Call for Papers is currently open, and closes on Monday 8 May 2023. For further enquiries regarding the conference, please contact phaconference2023@historians.org.au.

PHA (SA) looks forward to welcoming lively audiences to Adelaide, and will also offer an online stream throughout the conference for those unable to attend in person.
