Climate change is gradually threatening the existence of many of Australia’s endemic species, but is the country doing everything it can to help preserve them? Could we learn from experiences overseas? In this episode of The Churchill Collective, host Adam Spencer explores this emerging crisis with environmental scientist and author Timothy Low, who specialises in preserving our native reptiles. Tim discusses his experiences from his Churchill Fellowship, which was designed to uncover new ideas for species preservation from the Northern Hemisphere, and explains how global initiatives can inform scientists back home in Australia.

A thorny problem for native reptiles

World War I tore many Australian families asunder, but Indigenous Australian families in particular, with their limited access and resources, were often left wondering where their relatives had fallen, and where they now rest. One man on a mission has now answered many of their questions. In this episode of The Churchill Collective, host Adam Spencer delves into the fascinating journey of Joe Flick, a man dedicated to documenting the stories of Indigenous Australian soldiers who fought in the Great War. Discover how Joe's passion has not only answered century-old questions but also brought solace and recognition to many families. Through his studies, Joe has shed light on the forgotten contributions of Indigenous servicemen.

Bringing spirits home

Imagine being a classical musician who suddenly, and unexpectedly, loses her sight. That was a crisis overcome by Morwenna Collett, who subsequently turned her experiences into a passion for making the arts more accessible to disabled people. In this episode of The Churchill Collective, host Adam Spencer explores Morwenna’s amazing, and inspiring, life. Living with Multiple Sclerosis isn’t easy, but nevertheless Morwenna has transformed her challenges into triumphs, becoming a leader in arts accessibility in Australia thanks to a Churchill Fellowship that allowed her to study innovations abroad.

Amplifying arts accessibility

Our culture’s voracious adoption of "fast fashion", with its exploitation and carbon footprint, is creating mountains of waste around the world. So how can we change Australia’s attitudes? In this episode of The Churchill Collective, Adam Spencer explores innovative recycling and upcycling techniques with Jane Milburn, an agricultural scientist who has embraced the “slow fashion” movement as the founder of her company, Textile Beat. Jane discusses how emphasising the importance of natural fibres and personal style can reduce fashion waste. Drawing parallels with the "slow food" movement, she advocates for a thoughtful approach to clothing consumption. Jane shares her Churchill Fellowship experiences, highlighting global initiatives that inspire local actions to combat unsustainable practices.
