Representing, Debating & Protesting the Nation: The Visual Legacy of Sport

救生员、板球运动员、足球运动员和其他许多人的照片经常被用来向澳大利亚自己和世界展示澳大利亚，而其他体育图像则引发了关于种族主义和性别歧视的全国性辩论。然而，关于澳大利亚体育肖像的影响和遗产，还没有广泛的研究。这部历史将使用体育图像来丰富对澳大利亚过去和现在的了解，特别是体育在塑造民族自豪感、激情、关切和社会变革运动中所扮演的角色。该项目将带来一个大型展览，并将开发创新的数字教育资源，帮助澳大利亚各地的中小学生教授历史。

Pictures of lifesavers, cricketers, footballers, and so many others have frequently been used to represent Australia to itself and the world, while other sporting images have sparked national debates about racism, and sexism. Yet there has been no broad study of the impact and legacies of Australian sporting iconography. This history will use sporting images to enrich understandings of Australia's past and present, and in particular the roles that sport plays in shaping national pride, passions, concerns, and movements for social change. The project will lead to a major exhibition, and will also develop innovative digital education resources that assist the teaching of history to primary and secondary school students throughout Australia.
