We share an episode from History Detective by Kelly Chase about Janine Haines, teacher, politician, and advocate for Girls in STEM.

This week I’m playing for you an episode from another podcast I think you’d really like. It’s called History Detective by Kelly Chase, and this episode is about Janine Haines. Janine Haines was a teacher with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English and Mathematics. She was a passionate advocate for girls to study mathematics and the sciences, and went on to pursue a career in politics becoming party leader of the Australian Democrats. But I’ll let Kelly tell you more. If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to the History Detective podcast, and if you’re a teacher, every History Detective episode has resources that are aligned to the Australian Curriculum. Enjoy!
