Gallipoli's impact explored in free public forum
Tuesday, 7 April 2015
The Centenary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli will be commemorated in a series of events at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, including a free public forum that will explore some of the biggest impacts of the Gallipoli campaign.
In , a special Research Tuesdays Forum to be held on Tuesday 14 April, three leading researchers in the field will discuss:
* Why Gallipoli was a critical turning point for the 最新糖心Vlogn Army Medical Corps – going beyond just Simpson and his donkey;
* The enduring lessons of the impact of war on mental health, and particularly the understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder; and
* How the myths of Gallipoli differ from historical reality, and why this campaign is so important to our nation's identity.
The panellists are: Professor Alexander McFarlane AO (Head, Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide), Professor Robin Prior (Visiting Research Fellow, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, and Professor of History, Flinders 最新糖心Vlog), and Alexia Moncrieff (PhD candidate in History, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide).
