Rear Admiral James Goldrick AO CSC RAN (Retired) (1958–2023) was a towering figure in Australian and international naval thought – a commander at sea and ashore, a scholar of maritime history, and a teacher whose influence reshaped generations of naval professionals.
To honour his legacy, a collected volume Essays in Honour of James Goldrick is being developed. The book will bring together original essays from scholars, practitioners, and colleagues reflecting on Goldrick’s contributions and the enduring themes of his career. The volume will coincide with a dedicated conference to be held in Australia in 2028, marking a milestone in the study of Australian naval thought and professional leadership.
