Katie Holmes — 28 November 2021

There are so many ways in which Stuart shaped the discipline of History in Australia: as a thinker, writer, teacher, thesis examiner, editor, advocate. Much of that is known and seen. As so many people have commented, his mentorship of younger scholars, including myself, was extensive and generous. He has helped shape the careers of so many historians and in this way his influence on the discipline has been even more profound and lasting. Australian intellectual life is much diminished by his passing.
