Please note that due to unforeseen circumstances taking our guest away from Melbourne this White Noise event will now be held as an online webinar via zoom.
Join us for a White Noise of Settler Law Justice Talk with public lawyer and justice advocate Tim Goodwin.
In the first White Noise for 2024 we will be joined by a leading barrister and Yuin man in a live podcast recording discussing truth telling and reallocation of public power with our Host, Dr Eddie Cubillo.
White Noise is the Hub’s hallmark event and podcast series bringing blak excellence to MLS. It is a chance to engage with leading Indigenous academics, legal practitioners and community members in conversation for a look at how the white settler law of the justice system continues to affect Indigenous people.
All are welcome, but registration via the RSVP form below is required for attendance.
This talk will examine how Indigenous intellectual traditions transform planning. Drawing on work from the field of critical Indigenous studies, it will articulate a theory and practice of “Indigenous urbanism.” Indigenous urbanism is an analytic strategy for understanding how Indigeneity is mobilised and transformed by settler colonial urbanism as well as the ways in which Indigenous peoples contest settler urbanisation to make Indigenous urban space.
Using examples from Tkaronto (Toronto) this talk will also demonstrate how contemporary Indigenous cultural and artistic practices can provide a foundation for the reformulation of key planning concepts and practices to advance Indigenous justice.
Prior to the lecture, a special Welcome to Country and dance performance from Djirri Djirri Dance Group will take place in the Dulux Gallery, Ground Level, Glyn Davis Building from 5:30pm. Light refreshments will be served. Registrations are essential.
This lecture is delivered with support from the City of Melbourne’s Aboriginal Melbourne Team. Learn more about Aboriginal Melbourne.
