Featuring Yardhura Walani Associate Director Professor Ray Lovett, this session will draw from his team’s seminal work on racism and its impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wellbeing, including research surrounding the Voice to Parliament Referendum.

This is a space to listen and engage with honesty and respect, and reflect on how you can take action to eliminate racial discrimination.
