Resistance and resilience: Brunswick during the Great Depression

Professor Emerita Joan Beaumont and author of Australia’s Great Depression will discuss how Brunswick, savagely hit by unemployment, became the site of some of the most powerful protests against the “susso”, home evictions and the repression of free speech.
