Double Helix History Podcast Episode 2

Welcome to the Double Helix History Podcast, presented by Prof Jerome de Groot & Dr Matthew Stallard. In episode we will be coming direct from Australia, exploring what it is that makes Australian family history different from elsewhere in the world, the radical impacts of genealogy and the influence of memory and remembrance on our family stories, and how DNA testing is challenging what we thought we knew about the past. Contributions include excerpts from public talks at the State Library of New South Wales by Dr Tanya Evans (Macquarie University) and Dr Indira Chowdhury (Shristi School of Art, Design & Culture, Bengaluru), and Dr Ashley Barnwell (University of Melbourne) Along the way we will also have discussion and reflections from our focus group interviews with family historians from cities across Australia.
