Journalist and academic. Warren Osmond was a graduate of both Monash and Sydney Universities where he was active in the radical student movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. As well as working widely as a freelance journalist, he served as foreign and diplomatic editor of the Sydney morning herald, 1987-1994, and editor of Campus review, 1996-2000.
Feminist and academic. Lyndall Ryan has held positions in Australian studies and women's studies at Griffith University and Flinders University and is currently foundation Professor of Australian studies and head of the School of Humanities and Social Science at the University of Newcastle. She completed a Ph.D. at Macquarie University in 1975 with a thesis titled "Aborigines in Tasmania, 1800-1974 and their problems with the Europeans". Her book, The Aboriginal Tasmanians (1981), presented a critical interpretation of the early history of relations between Tasmanian Aborigines and white settlers in Tasmania. This work was later attacked by Keith Windschuttle, thus drawing her into the "History Wars".
