Thomson at Aarhus University

Professor Alistair Thomson will be Distinguished Visiting Professor at Aarhus University in 2012. His chair is shared by the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences, where he will be contributing to conferences, seminars and symposia and giving master classes to PhD scholars.

Alistair Thomson is Professor of History and Director of the Monash Institute for Public History at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. He made his name internationally in the mid-nineties for his research in oral history and his original theory of 'composing memory' based on his interviews with Australian war veterans. Today he is one of pathbreakers within the new field of 'public history'.

New times at au.dk/en

The university’s website is being redesigned. The design and content will therefore change, and you may experience for a while that old and new sections are mixed together, and that the content is not in its usual place.

We hope that the new website will make up for any inconvenience, and that you will enjoy greater coherence throughout and find the website simpler to use.

Why are we making a mess?

In the time ahead, you will notice a mixture of old and new designs in the pages on the website.

In spring 2011, Aarhus University’s nine main academic areas were reduced to four, and the fifty-five departments became twenty-six. This was to unify the organisation and to strengthen the university’s interdisciplinary approach. We are now following suit by restructuring the entire website to ensure more coherence in the content and design.

Such an exercise takes time – and we hope you will bear with us!

Take a short cut

Under the HOT KEY at the top right, you can find links to the most frequently used content on the website, as well as the two new universes for staff and students.

Where can I find it?

Use the new mega dropdowns to get an overview of the website’s content. They open when you run your mouse over the navigation at the top.
