Located Naarm/Melbourne - never-ceded land (and why dynamite our river waterfall?? #1850scrimes)
Opinions mine, not Deakin Uni's
Last week at the Capitol Theatre - two 'inner-city Melbourne Italian girls made good' teamed up to make a unique event. Loved listening to Patricia show and interpret her own work.

First time in the studio at ABC Radio, interviewed by silver-voiced David Rutledge for a Philosopher's Zone episode on "pragmatist philosophy and post-truth". In the booth opposite, pretty sure that was Waleed Aly! #philsky #pragmatism

What I read this summer: sequel to #indigenousepistemology smash hit "Sand Talk" by my esteemed Deakin colleague Dr Yunkaporta. Here Dr Y addresses how to recognise, and deal with, bogus indigenous knowledge in a late capitalist world hungry for vicarious authenticity.

What I read this summer: so evocatively written. Main character is a young male slave stuck in VA as his masters' fortunes have dwindled from their abuse of the land. Contains much real history - Underground Railroad, and Harriet Tubman, who I know now was an absolute badass. Highly recommended.

The Leunig who went comedically where others feared to tread - breathtaking at the time

Presented last week at the Indigenous Philosophy colloquium at Murdoch University. 'Limits of Language in Wittgenstein, Lear, Scheman and Yunkaporta'. DM if u'd like slides. Terrific event - our discipline still has a long way to go, IMHO
