PHA response to ANU and ADB funding and staff cuts

PHA (Vic & Tas) have been alarmed to read about ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences Organisational Change Proposal outlining funding and staffing cuts to the Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) / National Centre for Biography (NCB). Professional Historians Australia has written to Professor Bronwyn Parry, Dean Arts and Social Sciences (dean.cass@anu.edu.au) calling for the Dean to reconsider the job cuts to the history discipline. You can read the full submission here.

We encourage members to also consider making individual submissions to urgently call for funding and staff to be retained at ANU and ADB - submissions close 12pm Thursday 24 July. Please cc or bcc PHA (president@historians.org.au) into your response so we can also keep track of submissions.
