Urgent History
Australian National University
5 episodes
2 months ago

Hosted by Dr Filip Slaveski, Senior Lecturer in Russian, Soviet and East European History, Urgent History brings together leading historians to apply their knowledge of the past to some of the most pressing questions of the present. From the fate of face-to-face lectures and the crisis in Australian universities, to the roots of political populism, climate activism, and the cost-of-living squeeze, each conversation explores how the past continues to shape our present.


Unscripted and uncut, the series is designed to feel like a conversation at the dinner table between historians - thoughtful, sharp, and sometimes provocative. Whether you’re a student, historian, or simply curious about the world, this podcast invites you to see how history helps us make sense of the challenges we face today.

What on earth is going on with Australian universities?
In this podcast, we discuss the crisis in higher education. Massive staff layoffs, the closure of entire departments, mostly in the Humanities across Australian universities, puncture the news cycle. The cost of getting a degree has skyrocket while the quality and value of one may be heading in the other direction, with deep implications for our democracy and social mobility. We ask where this crisis came from and how we can fix it.
