I knew very little about it myself until my most recent visit to the British Museum and discovered the Enlightenment Gallery. I enjoyed a talk about it at the Summer School for Teachers in 2008, which you can download if you are interested here: it’s called The Enlightenment and the Origins of European Australia. I subsequently heard more about it later that year at the History Teachers Conference from Mike Wohltman, a colleague I met at the History Summer School, and a teacher from Marden College in Adelaide. He was passionate about the need to teach students to value reason in decision-making and to use it to combat prejudice and ignorance.
