- Location: Napier 420, Napier building, North Terrace campus
From Berlin to South Australia: Rethinking the Princess Louise Migrants and the Legacies of 1848 In August 1849, the Princess Louise brought nearly two hundred German migrants to South Australia, many connected with the upheavals of 1848. While a few figures—such as Alexander Schramm and Richard Schomburgk—are well known, most of the cohort remain little studied. This seminar, part of an in-progress PhD thesis, presents emerging research into their identities, networks, and motivations, situating them within global migration patterns and South Australia’s colonial context. Monday 27 October, 11 am to 12 pm. Napier 420, Napier building, North Terrace campus or online.
