Join us for the launch of the eleventh edition of Traffic, 'Fact or Fiction?' and a seminar with the Hon Michael Kirby on 23 November at 2.30pm in the Gryphon Gallery, Graduate Centre. He will discuss the topic of "Truth or Fiction?" and launch the latest edition of the refereed graduate student interdisciplinary journal, Traffic. The journal, published by the Graduate Student Association, includes contributions from graduate students from fields as diverse as nursing, anthropology and history.
Michael Kirby will explain the differences we have had in the courts (including the High Court of Australia) concerning whether one can tell the difference between truth and falsehood by the impression of witnesses in the artificial circumstances of a court room. Or anywhere else for that matter. In recent years, the High Court has moved to reduce the previous confidence in the mystical judicial capacity to evaluation truth based upon impressions. Instead, it has insisted upon greater reliance on contemporaneous records, objective facts, and the internal logic of the circumstances.
A light snack and drinks will be provided at the seminar. Please RSVP to events@gsa.unimelb.edu.au if you wish to attend.

Foreword - Traffic 10
Just over a decade or so ago, almost everywhere you looked, history as a discipline appeared to be in a bad way. In Australia, Keith Windschuttle, at that time a relatively obscure media lecturer, published his readable but intemperate volume, The Killing of History (1994), in which he lamented the death of history at the hands of cultural studies...
...History in several of its varieties is represented here: no primitive neo-conservative crudities that abhor nuance and ambiguity; no over-reliance on postmodernist puns that suggest a lack of awareness of Christopher Norris’s demolition of Derrida; no half-understood poststructuralist mutterings that show ignorance of Andrew Scull’s recent demolition of Foucault’s scholarship: just good, incisive scholarship―and interesting stories.
