Joy MacLennan Oration: The economic benefits of compassion: how South Australia can thrive

2pm - 2.50pm | Sunday 15 July

The recent closure of Holden in Adelaide’s north has had a significant impact on its community. Between the politics and pragmatism, many families have struggled. How does South Australia juggle crucial economic development with a caring and compassionate community? How do we progress whilst ensuring others aren’t left behind?

Solo event,

Understanding the impact of traumatic stress in modern society

2pm - 2.50pm | Sunday 15 July

There has been extraordinary progression since the 1970s towards recognising the effects of trauma. We now live in a world of identity politics in which the need for traumatised minorities to have a voice is accepted. Our challenge is to ensure that resilience is valued, while not devaluing victims.

Workshop,

SPEAK UP!

2pm - 2.50pm | Sunday 15 July

You’ve heard from the experts. But who do YOU think is at the wheel? Let’s hear from a range of citizens who'll each have only five minutes to deliver their ideas. Expect this session to be punchy, provocative and challenging.

Panel,

Are animals people or possessions?

3pm - 3.50pm | Sunday 15 July

The relationship between humans and animals has always been ambivalent. Often seen as companions, animals have at the same time been instrumentalised as beasts of burden and sources of food. Join our panel as they consider the evolving legal and social status of animals, from the French Revolution to the wars of the twentieth century.
