History of SCEAA
Bob Hill made an excellent attempt at putting the history of SCEAA together in a presentation/discussion session at the 21st anniversary conference in Melbourne in 2003. He has generously agreed to allow his findings to date to go up on our new webpage with a view to encourage further discussion, new perspectives and updated experiences. Read his history of SCEAA here.

SEAA Tomorrow: SOSE and the Future
At the 2003 biennial conference Professor Rob Gilbert's keynote address provided an overview of the past and challenges for the future, on the occasion of SEAA's twenty-first birthday. This is a wide-ranging discussion that focuses on SOSE and an entitlement approach to the curriculum that is concerned with teaching about society and environment. The address was published in The Social Educator Vol. 21, Spring 2003. Read the document here.
