Mandy Paul presented June's Talking History Lecture in 2017, speaking about the Centre of Democracy which opened in late May that year. The Centre is a collaboration between the History Trust of South Australia and the State Library of South Australia which celebrates South Australia’s history of democracy and challenges visitors to consider contemporary issues. Mandy highlighted some of the lesser-known stories relating to our political past and discussed the complexities and opportunities of presenting history in the digital age. Mandy Paul is the Director of the Migration Museum and was project manager of the Centre of Democracy. She has postgraduate qualifications in history and museum studies, and has curated exhibitions on a wide range of subjects, from John McDouall Stuart to internment during the First World War. She has published widely in Australian and South Australian history. This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series.
