Join Professor Tracy Ireland for a compelling talk on a major interdisciplinary project uncovering the physical remains of Australia’s nuclear history.
Bringing together leading academics, curators, scientists and First Nations researchers, this work uses cutting‑edge contemporary archaeology to reveal how Australia’s atomic heritage fits into global Cold War narratives.
You’ll hear how the team is:
- Investigating the material traces of nuclear testing and research
- Reframing Australia’s role in the Nuclear Age through new evidence
- Developing innovative methods for interpreting controversial heritage
- Building capacity for better heritage management and public understanding
This event offers a rare opportunity to explore how archaeology, heritage studies, and community collaboration are reshaping what we know about Australia’s nuclear past and why it matters today.
