History Guest Speaker

On Thursday 30 March, Form VI Modern History pupils were fortunate to hear a lecture by Associate Professor Laetitia Nanquette from the University of New South Wales, who specialises in Iranian literature. 

The boys - joined by eager History masters - were treated to a lecture that was not only interesting in its own right but was particularly focused on the areas that are covered by the HSC syllabus on Iran. Associate Professor Nanquette‘s lecture provided in depth analysis as well as samples of recent historiography on post-1979 Revolution Iran, and she was kind enough to make time for questions. We know the boys were glad to have given up their lunchtime for this rare opportunity.
