Terms of engagement: Directions for new Indigenous leadership

Part 1 | Part 2

A new generation of Indigenous leaders and thinkers are ready to break the mould with new thinking, activism and positive engagement for Australia and its Indigenous population. In this Sydney Writers' Festival event, our panellists discuss how this generation of Indigenous leaders is set to change the terms of engagement. Megan Davis’ essay in Griffith REVIEW 24: Participation Society argues for representation that gives women a stronger voice; Sarah Maddison’s new book is Black Politics, Inside the complexity of Aboriginal political culture; Wesley Enoch is a leading theatre director and playwright, with a vision for a National Indigenous Theatre Company and a major contributor to the Currency House Paper ‘Black is your genre’; and Gillian Cowlishaw is an author and respected anthropologist working with the Indigenous community in Mount Druitt. They talk to Julianne Schultz, editor of Griffith REVIEW.
