Universities and Postwar Recovery 1943-57

本项目旨在调查1943-1957年间澳大利亚大学教育主导的复兴对澳大利亚的影响和变革作用。为此，它将对由英联邦重建培训计划资助的6500名退役男女大学毕业生进行集体传记调查。它希望在澳大利亚历史领域产生新的知识，特别是关于战争遣返的历史、职业的发展和高等教育的历史。预期结果包括理解以教育为主导的复苏的质量，以及对高等教育的公共投资的价值。好处包括提高了20世纪澳大利亚历史的研究能力。

This project aims to investigate the impact and transformative effect of the university education-led recovery in postwar Australia from 1943 to 1957. It will do so by undertaking a collective biographical survey of 6,500 ex-service men and women university graduates funded under the Commonwealth Reconstruction Training Scheme. It expects to generate new knowledge in the area of Australian history, especially the history of war repatriation, the development of the professions and the history of higher education. Expected outcomes include understanding the qualities of an education-led recovery and the worth of public investment in higher education. Benefits include increased research capacity in 20th century Australian history.
