Dr Kylie Andrews is an award-winning historian who has worked across a range of mediums and disciplines. Her historical focus covers a wide field, from media and communications to corporate, labour and military history.

In addition to receiving the Clare Burton Scholarship and a National Council of Women Australia Day Award for her research into gender in broadcasting, Kylie was awarded the UNSW Frank Crowley History Prize for her study of the television industry’s approach to national history. Kylie works with many historical associations and centres of learning; in addition to being a PHA (NSW) committee member, she is associated with the University of Technology, Sydney (Communications) and the Centre for Media History at Macquarie University.
