Tuesday 10 June, 5 – 6pm | Webinar

HSC Standard Module A: Language, Identity and Culture

HSC EAL/D Module B: Language, Identity and Culture

Presenter: Dr Matthew Sussman

Poetry has long provided a way for people to tell stories about who they are and where they come from. But what specific resources does poetry offer to meet the expressive needs of a modern multicultural society like Australia? In this webinar, we will examine how three contemporary Asian-Australian poets use language in careful and characteristic ways to depict complex dramas of self-discovery, identity, and belonging, revealing how the self cannot be understood apart from the words we use to articulate it.

ARTiculate Economics | Trade wars: Will tariffs make anyone great again?

Wednesday 20 August, 5 – 6pm | Webinar

HSC Topic One - The Global Economy

HSC Topic Two – Australia’s Place in the Global Economy

Presenter: Associate Professor Gareth Bryant

Donald Trump’s tariffs are upending the global economic order as we know it. After decades of globalisation, a trade war between the world’s two largest economies, the US and China, is reverberating through supply chains, financial markets and international institutions. This interactive talk will draw on a range of different economic lenses and data points to reconsider the arguments for free trade versus economic protectionism in the Trump era. It will demonstrate how a political economy approach is essential for understanding the forces that are shaping the future of the global economy, and Australia’s place in it, in highly uncertain times.
