This project aims to produce an innovative history of the Great Depression by examining how Australian responses to this crisis were shaped by the earlier traumatic experience of World War One. In both crises the structures of Australian society remained intact, despite great social distress and political upheaval. It remains an unanswered question as to why this was so. Addressing this question, the project intends to increase understanding of the impact of war on Australians and the sources of the resilience of Australian political and social structures. The project's outputs will be designed to reach a wide public readership.

该项目旨在通过考察澳大利亚对这场危机的反应是如何受到第一次世界大战早期创伤经历的影响，创造出一段创新的大萧条历史。在这两次危机中，尽管存在巨大的社会苦难和政治动荡，澳大利亚的社会结构仍然完好无损。为什么会这样，仍然是一个没有答案的问题。为了解决这个问题，该项目旨在加深对战争对澳大利亚人的影响以及澳大利亚政治和社会结构恢复力的来源的理解。该项目的产出将被设计成广泛的公众读者群。
