On 9 October the Schonell Theatre and HPI hosted “A Sunshine State? Remembering Queensland’s 1980s: Public Symposium and Film Screening” to an engaged and enthusiastic audience. UQ former postgrad Dr Jackie Ryan (award-winning author and 2019 Queensland Writing Fellow) presented her film on Expo ’88, followed by a panel discussion where Ryan joined prize-winning Australian novelist and journalist Matthew Condon, and ANU’s Professor of History Frank Bongiorno. UQ’s own Geoff Ginn facilitated the evening with great success.
