On Saturday, January 31, 2026, ACS members gathered for a special virtual lecture from Dr Steve Georgakis, Senior Professor of Pedagogy and Sports Studies at the University of Sydney. Dr Georgakis is the author of "Towards a Theoretical Understanding of Australian Colonial Sport: British Nationalism and Schools," which explores the cultural and social dimensions of colonial-era sport, particularly in the nascent education system, in shaping Australian national identity. There was, needless to say, a heavy emphasis on cricket.
