Dane Kennedy (National History Center): Brexit and the Legacies of Empire Although Britain lost its empire some fifty years ago, this talk will argue that the legacies of its imperial past have helped shape the debate surrounding Brexit and Britain’s future. I intend to (1) note the historical forces that brought an end to Britain’s empire and led to its belated and ambivalent entry into the European Union, (2) point out how postcolonial demographics and politics within British society gave rise to

David Lowe (Australian Policy and History): Trump tumult and the Australian-American alliance in historical perspective The Trump phenomenon has caused many governments to think hard about the nature of their relationships with the United States. In the case of Australia, amidst the shock and confusion, it may even trigger the sort of questioning of the ANZUS Security Pact (1951) that historians have thus far been unable to stir. To date, ANZUS and the oft-recalled memory of 1 million American

Klaus Neumann (Deakin University, Melbourne): Forced migration, policy making, and the uses and abuses of history Drawing on examples from Germany and Australia, I reflect on the role of historicized and remembered pasts in the recent so-called refugee crisis. I am particularly interested in why and how the events of 2012-2013 (in Australia) and 2015-2016 (in Europe) were interpreted as an unprecedented crisis, and how particular readings and memories of the past facilitated or hampered responses

Jennifer Crane (Warwick): ‘The NHS … should not be condemned to the history books’: The Place of Activism in History & Policy. In a public event in South Wales in June 2017, one participant stated that the NHS must not be ‘condemned to the history books’ alone. This critical comment raises a series of questions about the relationships between history, policy, and activism, and also about the roles of public history in celebrating, criticising, or condemning public institutions. Drawing on research

Sally Sheard (Liverpool): Learning from history: NHS plans For the first 26 years, the NHS was left to run without major reform or reorganisation. Although planning emerged as a concern in the 1960s, linked to desires to increase effectiveness and efficiency, it wasn't until the 1980s, and the introduction of general management, that there was the political will or technical capacity to construct detailed, long-term plans. This paper considers the introduction of NHS plans as key political 'sticks'

Roberta Bivins (Warwick): 'Stop reinventing the Wheel: Prompting critical reflection on medical responses to migration' Today, migration is framed as a crisis, and often one of unprecedented scale, complexity and diversity. Yet from a historian's perspective, neither this language nor the phenomena described by it are novel. Globally, the second half of the twentieth century was characterised by mass movements of population. Moreover, medical practices and ideas about 'good' citizenship and 'good'
