This webinar is the third in the Australian Centre’s 2024 Critical Public Conversations series: Sovereignty and Solidarity: Redefining belonging in so-called Australia.
Each Australian settler or migrant carries with them their own separate history of interactions with First Nations’ Australians. Not just personally, but historically, in terms of how those from their region of the world have thus far interacted with First Nations’ people and Country.
In this presentation, Australian author of Afro-Caribbean descent Maxine Beneba Clarke discusses the links between the colonisation of (so-called) Australia, and the enslavement and colonisation of people of Afro-Caribbean descent, and how our knowledge and understanding of cross-cultural interactions in the invasion and establishment of Australia helps us move towards solidarity.

The Melbourne University Regiment will continue its longstanding tradition of holding an ANZAC Day Dawn Service on campus at the Cenotaph opposite the South Lawn this coming ANZAC Day, Thursday 25 April, from 5.20am.
Although we particularly remember the impact of WWI and WWII on this day, all members of the community are invited to attend to reflect on lives lost in, or changed forever by war.
As this is an outdoor event and will go ahead if it rains, please come prepared for the weather conditions.
Booking is not required for this event.
