Student Resources

This free resource aims to help teachers exploring aspects of Australia's Deep Time past with secondary students. It provides coverage of some major themes in Australia's pre-contact history using insights from recent scholarship and it includes a range of diagrams, images, sources and activities that can be adapted for a range of year groups and educational contexts. HTANSW encourages free use of this resource but asks that it is appropriately acknowledged at all times.

This episode features an interview with Dr. Benjamin Jones from Central Queensland University. We discuss some of the themes and issues raised in his co-edited book 'History in a Post-Truth World: Theory and Praxis' published by Routledge in 2021.

This episode explores the history and historiography of witch trials and witch hunts. Our guest is Michael Street, history teacher and recipient of a 2019 Premier's Teacher Scholarship sponsored by HTANSW. Michael used his scholarship to travel to the United States and England to study the history of witch hunts and has written a chapter on this topic for the second edition of the History Extension Resource Book (HTANSW, 2020).

Dr. Peter Whitewood (York St. John University, UK) has written an authoritative account of Stalin's purge of the Red Army in the lead up to the Second World War. He joined us to talk about the history of state violence in Russia prior to 1917 and how terror became an important feature of the Soviet system after the October Revolution.

This book published by HTANSW provides chapters covering a range of the most popular HSC Ancient History topics across the entire course. It includes an accessible introduction to the topics and suggestions for further research.
