Join Dr Alice Garner as she presents a lecture on her 2023 National Library Fellowship research on the life of Mavis Robertson. While Mavis Robertson is celebrated as a pioneer in the development of compulsory superannuation, this talk will look at her larger, even more fascinating life.
Dr Alice Garner is a historian, performer, teacher at the University of Melbourne’s Graduate School of Education and a 2023 Honorary National Library of Australia Fellow. Alice has worked as an actor since childhood and is probably best known for her roles in Love and Other Catastrophes, SeaChange and Secret Life of Us.
