VIDA @ 10: Celebrating a decade of the Australian Women’s History Network’s blog

Come together to celebrate VIDA: Blog of the Australian Women’s History Network @ 10! Founded in July 2016, VIDA was and remains singular within the academic, digital history, and public humanities landscape.

You're invited to hear the managing editors reflect upon the blog's origins and transformation over the past decade. Together, authors, students, and the editorial team will also consider how VIDA's original mission has contributed to academic history, activism and advocacy, capacity building, teaching, and social impact.
