Lewis College of Human Sciences Assistant Professor of History Marie Hicks is Interviewed on Australian National Radio

Recently Lewis College of Human Sciences Assistant Professor of History Marie Hicks was on National Radio Sydney in Australia talking about women in computing, including the women computer programmers who worked at Woomera missile testing range in the 1950s and 1960s. Woomera was a joint initiative set up by the UK and Australian governments to give Britain a place to test its long-range weapons. Women there did a lot of similar computer work as women in the UK and the U.S. who worked on ballistics research by computer. Listen to the full interview here.
