Greek Currents in Australian Waters
'Greek Currents in Australian Waters: Greek-Australians and the Sea, 1810s to 2008' is presented by Leonard Janiszewski and Effy Alexakis (Department of Modern History).
Greeks have traditionally had a close affinity with the sea, not only as a means of passage, but also for both domestic and commercial subsistence. This relationship has continued in Australian waters for almost 200 years, providing Greek-Australians with passage, employment, adventure, recreation and sport. Through their enterprise and courage, Greek-Australians have contributed greatly to shaping the course of modern Australia's relationship with the sea.
This event is free and all staff are welcome.
The event will be held from 10.30-11.30am on Friday, 12 September 2008 in the University Art Gallery, Building E11A.
