Kaz Cooke in conversation with Michelle Rayner

Join us for our HCV Friends end-of-year event with Kaz Cooke.

Kaz's latest book, You’re Doing it Wrong, is a tour through the centuries of bonkers and bad advice handed down and foisted upon women.

Kaz’s own 30-year history of interest and experience in advice – from her newspaper etiquette column to best-selling books, including Up the Duff and the Girl Stuff series – and years of archives and research have culminated in this book with hundreds of wacky and sobering historical photos of objects and instructions.

Kaz Cooke is an Australian author, cartoonist and radio broadcaster.

Michelle Rayner is an HCV Board Member and Executive Producer at Radio National.

This event will be held held online.

Summary

The HCV was formed as an advisory body in 2001 and incorporated in 2003. It comprises representatives from cultural and educational institutions and heritage bodies; history teachers and curriculum advisors; academic and professional historians; and local, Indigenous, community and specialist history organisations.

As the peak body for history, the HCV has both ‘outward-looking’ roles (including advocacy and representation to government and the wider community, consultation, community education, and networking with allied interest groups) and ‘inward-looking’ roles (including member support, information dissemination, and networking between members).
