One of Australia's leading scholars and a highly distinguished professor
of history, Marilyn Lake forged a career that spanned several decades
across a number of universities. Her books have significantly advanced
our understandings, not only of Australian social, cultural, and
political history, but also of the interdependence of that history with
those of Britain, the US, and the Asia-Pacific. The chapters in this
book span the breadth of Lake's scholarly influence on the directions
historical research is taking today, and are based on papers by overseas
colleagues and Australian scholars abroad, which were presented at a
Festschrift held at the University of Melbourne over two days in
December 2016.
