Urgent History

What’s This Podcast
About?

Hosted by Dr Filip Slaveski, Senior Lecturer in Russian, Soviet and East European History, Urgent History brings together leading historians to apply their knowledge of the past to some of the most pressing questions of the present. From the fate of face-to-face lectures and the crisis in Australian universities, to the roots of political populism, climate activism, and the cost-of-living squeeze, each conversation explores how the past continues to shape our present. Unscripted and uncut, the series is designed to feel like a conversation at the dinner table between historians - thoughtful, sharp, and sometimes provocative. Whether you’re a student, historian, or simply curious about the world, this podcast invites you to see how history helps us make sense of the challenges we face today. Hosted on Acast.
