Greg Dening

Greg Dening taught history at Melbourne for twenty years by asking his students first to describe their present so that they could better hear the silences of the past. He believed that history was not something we learned but something that we performed. Appointed professor of History in 1970, he was subsequently the first occupant of the newly named Max Crawford Chair of History, from 1974-1990. Key Publications: Islands and Beaches; Discourses on a Silent Land: Marquesas, 1774-1880 (1981), Mr Bligh’s Bad Language (1992) and Performances (1996).
