WWF 2019 "Literature, Creativity and the Manus Prison Theory"

In this one-off live special of Dicey Topics BENJAMIN LAW gets CLEMENTINE FORD, STEPHANIE WOOD and JESS HILL to bare all about SEX, DEATH and RELIGION

In Good Weekend magazine every Saturday, Benjamin Law interviews prominent people – artists, designers, businesspeople, actors, scientists, athletes, politicians – about private topics: (1) sex; (2) death; (3) money; (4) religion; (5) politics; and (6) our bodies – by getting them to roll a dice. His hunch is these taboos represent some of the most important conversations we can have and with this panel it certainly proves to be true!

WWF 2019 "Dicey Topics Live"

FEATURING: Lee Kofman, Luke Carman, Stephanie Wood, Jess Hill, Gala Vanting

Shame is one of the most pervasive and tough human emotions. How does shame reshape
us? And how can we extricate ourselves from its abyss? Writers’ best works, though, often dwell in the caves of shame, and for them shame can be a reliable barometer to detect those urgent stories they need to tell.

WWF 2019 "On Shame"

FEATURING: Jane Caro, Benjamin Law, Kirli Saunders, Gabbie Stroud, Rhiannon Hall

This panel ask the question: what do we want from education? Do we want our children to master basic skills, or do we want our children to be critical thinkers? Do we want our children to be curious and creative? Do we want our young people to be kind? What is the purpose of K-12 education in Australia? Why don't we trust teachers?
