Sports History Symposium

The objective of this project is to produce a book that appeals to the general reader which is really a social history of our part of Brisbane, told through the prism of sport and recreation. It will follow broad themes, including place-based histories, social change and continuity, rise and fall of interest in various sports, inclusion, challenges, famous sporting people and events.

In the symposium, attendees will hear more about how the project is expected to develop, how local sporting associations and individuals can get involved, and the sometimes surprising history of sport in our local area.
