in interview with Judith Lucy

Tim Flannery will discuss his new Quarterly Essay, Now or Never, which looks at sustainability, our search for it in the twenty-first century, and how it will impact upon the environmental threats that confront us today. Tim Flannery discusses in some detail three potential solutions to the most pressing ... (more)of the current sustainability challenges: climate change. He argues that Australia has a special responsibility when it comes to climate change, and that our prime minister could be a critical player on the global stage in Copenhagen in December 2009 – but only if we take swift and effective action and make sharp cuts in emissions. Brilliant and terrifying, Now or Never is a call to arms by Australia’s leading thinker and writer on the natural world.

In the last eight years, the transformations in land, labour, economy, and demography in Israel and the Occupied Territories have been stunning. Palestinians have suffered losses not seen since the beginning of Israeli occupation in 1967, and arguably, since the losses of 1948. The current context has ... (more)many dimensions but is defined primarily by Israel’s continued occupation of Palestinian lands, perhaps most vividly expressed in the widespread expansion of Israeli settlements, the isolation of the West Bank and Gaza, the internal cantonization of the West Bank and the bureaucratisation of Israeli control. Sara Roy will examine these paradigmatic shifts at the political, social and economic levels and argue that they collectively undermine the possibility of achieving a meaningful and politically and economically sustainable resolution of the conflict.

Chris Healy in conversation with Meaghan Morris

Forgetting Aborigines is about a deep-seated habit in Australian public culture, when it comes to Indigenous issues: they command headlines from time to time, prompt many letters to opinion columns and lobbying for government action, and then fade from ... (more)memory. In Forgetting Aborigines Chris Healy suggests that this pattern of remembering and forgetting is dishonest and destructive, and not at all new.

He points out that Aborigines have appeared and disappeared from history and public culture in ways that served particular purposes of white Australia since the beginning of colonisation.

Examining the way "Aboriginality" is conceived in art, television, museums, tourism and various other cultural and historical domains, Healy argues with lucidity and insight that breaking this pattern of forgetting is essential for an ethical future.

In this very special free event, Meanjin will present the first ever Dorothy Porter Poetry Prize. Dorothy's partner, author Andrea Goldsmith and friend and poet, Judith Beveridge, will talk about and read from the posthumously published book of poetry The Bee Hut.

This conversation between Walkely Award winning journalist, Monica Attard and Alan Ramsay will be a celebration of twenty-two years of writing about politics by one of Australia's most incisive and provocative political journalists.

Rex Cramphorn was one of the key theatre practitioners to come out of the renaissance of Australian theatre in the 1960s and 1970s. In A Raffish Experiment, Ian Maxwell presents an eclectic collection of Rex Cramphorn’s writing, including theatre reviews for the Bulletin and the Sunday Australian, ... (more)self-assessments, production diaries, essays and proposals, working notes for actors and selections from surviving correspondence. The collection offers not only valuable — and unique — insights into a significant theatre practitioner as he wrestled with his craft, but also a contribution to the historiography of Australian theatre, from a practitioner’s point of view, through a formative period of that history.
