About the event
Join history buffs Charlotte Macdonald and Richard Shaw authors of the popular books Garrison World and The Good Settler for a wide-ranging conversation about the craft of history, the stories we choose to tell, and the ones we have yet to reckon with. From the grand sweep of national narratives to the intimate details, we tell ourselves.
Mark your diaries, bring your curious self.
