This webinar is the fifth in the Australian Centre’s 2024 Critical Public Conversations series: Sovereignty and Solidarity: Redefining belonging in so-called Australia.

Join Suvendrini Perera & Joseph Pugliese in conversation as they discuss questions of race, geographies of state violence and countermaps of resistance in (so-called) Australia and across the globe.

The Deathscapes Project identifies how the governance apparatuses of the settler state—including its systems of law, criminal justice and the prison-industrial-detention complex—operate to produce death for its racially targeted subjects as a system-outcome of its everyday operations.

In this talk, Suvendrini Perera & Joseph Pugliese offer a scattered itinerary of settler colonialism, its long duration, wide reach and transnational deathscapes, alongside their excavations of adjacent terms.

We invite audience members to familiarise themselves with the Deathscapes website ahead of the talk, if possible. It can be accessed via the NLA archive at: https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20201103065140/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/173410/20201103-1648/www.deathscapes.org/case-studies/index.html

The pace of change is escalating in much of society, directly impacting how veterinary medicine is practised and the expectations placed on the profession. Society expects that veterinarians provide safe, effective, timely, compassionate care for animals. Client expectations, literacy levels, and financial capability vary dramatically, impacting how veterinarians address concerns and issues. Veterinarians are involved in a wide range of practice and non-practice roles protecting animal resources, public health, and the security of communities and nations. Preparing individuals and teams for these challenges requires nimble and responsive educational approaches. Simulation-Based Education (SBE) is a vital and increasingly important approach to enhancing and evolving veterinary training from early student education to continuing professional development.

Join Dr. Julie Cary as our very special guest for the 2024 DC Blood Oration where she will explore ways that simulation can be used to support veterinary training and the profound impact including simulation has on learners, clients, and animals.

DC Blood Oration

The significance of the legacy left by the founding Dean of the modern veterinary school at the University of Melbourne is to be honoured and celebrated. Professor Douglas Blood (Dean, 1962–1968) was highly regarded nationally and internationally, writing seminal textbooks in the fields of large animal medicine. There have been several philanthropic initiatives established to commemorate this visionary veterinarian the most important being the DC Blood Oration. The Melbourne Veterinary School annual event features renowned experts from Australia and overseas. It is a free and open to the public.
