Our Better Nature

Pioneering Noongar doctor and medical researcher Professor Sandra Eades (co-author of First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture) and Darumbal and South Sea Islander journalist Amy McQuire (Black Witness: The Power of Indigenous Media) explore the enduring, transformative role of First Nations knowledge in the fields of healthcare and media.

With host Cheryl Leavy, they'll draw on their combined decades of practical experience and intellectual rigour to reflect on the importance of self-determined practices that uphold cultural integrity and prioritise Aboriginal leadership, and how non-First Nations practitioners can respect and learn from these approaches. Curated by Nardi Simpson.

Emily Maguire and Josephine Rowe: Are You There, God?

Santilla Chingaipe (Black Convicts: How Slavery Shaped Australia), Sita Sargeant (She Shapes History) and Steve Vizard (Nation, Memory, Myth: Gallipoli and the Australian Imaginary) come together to bring to light misunderstood, mythologised or lesser-known dimensions of Australian history.

From the global slave trade and Gallipoli to the women who shaped our country but were omitted from the history books, this discussion addresses how the stories we choose to tell – and those that are left out – shape our national identity.
