Professor M.C. Ricklefs, who recently received the Queens Birthday award of Member of the Order of Australia (am) for his major contribution to Asia & Pacific Studies and to indigenous education, talks about his life and work.
How did Prof Riclefs academic interest develop? Why did he come to Australia? Is history still useful? How have educational trends affected student interest in studying history? We celebrate the work of Professor Merle Ricklefs.
