Cambridge University Press would like to congratulate one of our authors, Brian Hoepper, who recently received an 'Excellence in History Education' award.

The Dr Russell Cowie ‘Excellence in History Education’ Award 2019 was presented to Dr Brian Hoepper by Kay Bishop (QHTA Patron) on 29th June 2019 during the Queensland History Teachers’ Association State Conference.
