In 1984, University of Melbourne Dean of Arts and renowned historian Professor Geoffrey Blainey delivered a speech in Warrnambool, Victoria, criticising the pace of Asian immigration. His comments made headlines in newspapers and sparked outrage among students, who accused him of racism. They protested and picketed his lectures. Yet, the university seems to have left little record of these events. 42 years later, students continue to challenge racism with the rise of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. We wonder how long it’ll take for these voices to be heard.

Uncurated is a Centre for Advancing Journalism podcast, produced at&nbsp;the University of Melbourne on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. &nbsp;

The porticoes, lawns and classrooms of the University of Melbourne have seen their fair share of unrest, spanning from eggings to dunkings through protest marches, barricades and occupations.  Some of the most consequential protests in Australian history took place on this campus. 

In this new season, students from the Centre from Advancing Journalism explore the university's unruly past.  Each episode we’ll dust off an object from the archives that tells a story about protest here on our campus, revealing the role played by students in the fight for labour rights, gay rights and women's rights, as well as in the anti-war movement.   

We will explore the story of forgotten protests as we explore the value of campus activism, and we ask what happens when the university tries to rule student unruliness.  This series also asks: what do we lose when protest is stifled?
