I'm not too sure if I want to look at Windshuttle anymore!!! I did find it interesting but at the moment it is boring me and I don't really want to keep doing it!!!
I'm trying to think of new ideas but my minds drawing a blank!
I'm not too sure if I will concentrate on Australian history! hmmmm I was thinking I could look at Malta during WW11, cause I can get first hand evidence from my grandparents.
Or I could research something to do with Israel and/or the Gaza strip.
As you can see my mind has gone a little crazy!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!
Both your ideas - Malta during WW11 or something to do with Israel and/or the Gaza strip - are too big and vague. In the end whatever you choose to do has to be manageable! Take Israel for example. If you took one copy of everything written about that country and dropped it on Israel then nobody could live there. On the other hand you could set yourself the task of assessing some different views about the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. That might be manageable. (I like Jay Leno's joke - 'Everything would work out in the Middle East if the Palestinians and the Israelis would just start acting like good Christians.')
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame, cause I really liked the Windshuttle idea! Is there a way you could tie his books in with your feminism/stolen generation idea?
ReplyDeleteHe just seems like such a racist idiot, it would be fun to hear more about him :)
well volume 3 of his fabrication of Aboriginal History series is about the Stolen generation from 1881-2008. It is at Penrith library so I am hoping to borrow it, unless it has been stolen for some odd reason!
