What challenges do historians face when exploring sensitive topics? Intergenerational trauma and ethical issues associated with gathering and analysing historical evidence are important concerns when reconstructing contentious narratives. Winners of the 2016 New South Wales Premier’s History Awards – Stuart Macintyre, Ann McGrath and Tanya Evans – reveal to Caroline Butler-Bowdon how they explored difficult subjects such as interracial relationships, war and poverty.

Presented with the History Council of NSW.
