SUMMARY:2023 Wingarra Djuraliyin: Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law
DESCRIPTION:2023 Wingarra Djuraliyin: Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law\nSydney Law School is proud to host the annual Wingarra Djuraliyin public lecture\, which showcases Indigenous perspectives on law. \nThe Council of Australian Law Deans in 2020 expressed its commitment to a legal system free of systemic discrimination and structural bias against First Nations peoples – this commitment applies to legal education institutions.  \nThe recent public lecture by Dr Eddie Cubillo addressed this topic\, which is of considerable public interest including within the legal academy.  \nWe acknowledge the courage of Dr Eddie Cubillo to address the impact on First Nations Peoples. \nSince the delivery of the lecture\, the University has been informed of ongoing legal issues\, which currently prevent the lecture recording being available for distribution. \nIn-person event \n\n\nSydney Law School is proud to host the annual Wingarra Djuraliyin public lecture\, which showcases Indigenous perspectives on law. \nIn 2023\, the lecture is “One more broken silence: an Indigenous academic encounters racism in the law school 2023”\, delivered by Dr Eddie Cubillo (University of Melbourne Law School). \nThis event is being held to mark the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People\, which is celebrated annually on 9 August. \n2023 Lecture \nOne more broken silence: an Indigenous academic encounters racism in the law school  \nIn this lecture\, I question why despite being white-qualified\, having done an LLB\, LLM\, PhD\, I am only seen as ‘the culture guy’ and only respected enough to do ‘smoking and acknowledgements’\, why myself and other Blak academics continue to be subjected to casual and pervasive racisms as an everyday occurrence\, and why some of our most prestigious academic institutions continue to be complicit in perpetrating and condoning racism despite all the rhetoric about standing for equity and justice. \nIn 2015\, Wiradjuri man Stan Grant challenged Australians to consider that ‘The Australian Dream is rooted in racism…the very foundation of the dream’. Recently\, as Australia tracks towards a referendum on a First Nations Voice to Parliament that 80% of Indigenous people support\, non-Indigenous author Richard Flanagan challenges us to ‘confront th[e] most terrible truth…[that] racism experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people…is of a completely different order…far more extreme…[and] so pervasive as to often be invisible to non-Indigenous Australians’. \nThe toxicity of the academy and whether it’s safe for Indigenous staff and students needs to be confronted. It needs to be highlighted that they often are not. First Nations academics often ask each other if it’s all worthwhile. As a country\, we need to acknowledge that the places settlers/non-Indigenous Australians have built for themselves were established by\,  and  are sustained by\, racial violence. Institutions  can be  unrelenting  in  their  viciousness towards sovereign Black bodies\,  and this viciousness includes the silence of colleagues\, their privilege and their ‘unconscious biases’. As Richard Flanagan acknowledges ‘Spend some real time with Aboriginal people and you’ll see how they are still made to live in another country\, and it is frequently a cruel\, pitiless and brutally destructive world.‘ \nSo why am I still here? Why do I\, and other Blak academics continue to subject ourselves to the viciousness and racial violence? For the same reason I call it out in this lecture – As a proud Larrakia\, Wadjigan and Central Arrernte man I put up with the racism because of what I hear constantly from our people on the front-line advocating and delivering services trying their best in a racist world. If I can educate future leaders to respect my people\, I will. My ancestors and elders have faced adversity\, so that I can achieve\, it’s my turn. \n  \nWednesday 9 August\, 6-7.30pm\nCPD points =1.5 \n\n\n\n\nAbout the speaker \nDr Eddie Cubillo is a Larrakia\, Wadjigan and Central Arrente man from the Northern Territory. \nHe is a long time advocate for Indigenous rights and is currently Associate Dean (Indigenous Programs) & Director of the Indigenous Law and Justice Hub at the University of Melbourne’s Law School\, were he has his sights on the decolonisation of legal education and supporting graduates to work towards First Nations Justice. \nEddie’s other past roles include Anti-Discrimination Commissioner of the Northern Territory\, Executive Officer of the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Legal Service (NATSILS) and Director of Community Engagement in the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory. \nEddie has been a former Chair of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) Yilli Rreung Regional Council\, the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA) and the Aboriginal Justice Advisory Committee and is currently on the Law Council of Australia’s – Indigenous Legal Issues Committee\, National OPCAT Advisory Group\, Justice Policy Partnership (JPP) under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap\, and the Victorian Treaty Authority Panel. \n\n\n\n\nCatch up on the 2022 lecture \nIn 2022\, the Wingarra Djuraliyin lecture was presented by Professor Anne Poelina and Marlikka Perdrisat\, who spoke on the topic of ‘First Law: A Climate Chance’. \nWatch here \nThis event is presented by the University of Sydney Law School in collaboration with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Strategy and Services) at the University of Sydney.

SUMMARY:Beyond Punishment Seminar: Transforming rehabilitation through digital technology
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Punishment Seminar: Transforming rehabilitation through digital technology\nIn-person event \n\n\nInstitutions of criminal justice are not isolated from broader trends in society – and developments in the application of technologies in prisons have made it important to reconsider the role of digital technologies in rehabilitation. \nWhat is the role of digital technologies in the context of the rehabilitative aim of prisons? What ought it to be? How is this role likely to develop in the future? And what challenges need to be borne in mind when answering these questions? \nThese issues will be the focus of the Beyond Punishment Seminar: Transforming Rehabilitation Through Digital Technology\, which is hosted by the Sydney Institute of Criminology in conjunction with Corrective Services NSW at the Sydney Law School. \nA good first step is to assess the current state of play regarding potentially rehabilitative technologies in prisons. The seminar will examine the roll-out of android tablet devices in NSW prisons and the impacts on family visits\, health services and education of people in prison\, especially since the Covid-19 prison lockdowns\, and it will also examine how the devices can be used to deliver effective programs of rehabilitation. \nHow are tablet devices employed in prison? Do they lead to greater participation in rehabilitation or mean that people in prison socially withdraw? Can android devices address reintegration back into society and minimise issues of digital illiteracy? Is this an initiative that can ultimately decrease re-offending rates? \nTechnologies are never politically neutral and often raise ethical issues that need to be considered\, particularly in the context of criminal justice’s rehabilitative aims and this seminar will aim to consider these ethical issues and to try to answer some of the questions raised above. \n\n\n\n\nOur panel will be moderated by: \nDr Carolyn McKay\, Sydney Institute of Criminology\, Co-Director \nCarolyn is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney Law School where she teaches Criminal Law\, Civil & Criminal Procedure and Digital Criminology. She is Co-Director of the Sydney Institute of Criminology. Carolyn is recognised for her research into technologies in justice\, specifically her empirical research into prisoners’ experiences of accessing justice from a custodial situation by audio visual links\, published in her monograph\, ‘The Pixelated Prisoner: Prison video links\, court ‘appearance’ and the justice matrix‘ (2018). \nPanel Members: \nLuke Grant\, Deputy Commissioner\, Corrections Strategy and Governance\, Corrective Services NSW \nLuke joined Corrective Services NSW in the 1991 and held a number of executive positions prior to his appointment as Assistant Commissioner Inmate Management in 2000. He has worked at the coalface in the areas of inmate classification\, offender rehabilitation programs and services and inmate education. Luke was appointed to the role of Deputy Commissioner Corrections Strategy and Policy in 2020 and Deputy Commissioner of Strategy and Governance in 2022. In this role Mr Grant leads the development of Corrective Services strategy\, policies\, and practice as well as overseeing the interaction with partner organisations and service providers. \nRenee Van Aaken\, Acting Director – Reducing Recidivism (Premiers Priority) at Department of Communities and Justice \nRenee is an experienced leader in the Criminal Justice sector\, with extensive and diverse experience including being operational in prisons\, senior management\, and strategic areas. Renee is passionate about making a difference\, for people impacted by the criminal justice system and those working within what is a very challenging environment.

SUMMARY:The inaugural Kim Santow law and social justice panel: The promise and pitfalls of a marketised NDIS
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural Kim Santow law and social justice panel: The promise and pitfalls of a marketised NDIS\nIn-person event \nSupported by the Kim Santow Law and Social Justice Fund\, Sydney Law School’s annual panel discussion closely examines a legal issue in its socio-cultural context\, with social justice and human rights considerations central to the discussion. \nThe National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) holds great promise for improving the lives of people living with disability\, but due to its marketised structure it also has a number of pitfalls. To discuss this difficult policy issue\, this year’s panel brings together a range of perspectives: \n\nProfessor Emeritus Ron McCallum AO – Ron is the former Dean of Sydney Law School and an expert in disability and labour law. He was a part-time member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and in October 2022 was appointed as one of three independent expert reviewers by the NDIS.\nDr Angela Jackson -Dr Jackson is lead economist at Impact Economics and Policy\, with expertise in distributional analysis\, labour markets\, disability\, health\, gender\, housing and fiscal policy. She has authored a number of major reports on housing policy\, and the importance of investing in social housing for an equitable economic recovery from COVID-19.\nDeborah Connors – Deborah has been a NDIS client since late 2016. She has experienced and employed a variety of support services in that time – including carers\, cleaners\, nurses and physiotherapists. The experience has run the gamut from superb and life changing\, to terrible and despairing. As a result of the good support services\, she eventually found Deborah has been able to continue to work fulltime and participate fully in life\, and is living evidence of the NDIS goals.\nGiancarlo de Vera – Giancarlo is the Senior Manager of Policy at People with Disability Australia. They are a passionate advocate for disability\, multiculturalism\, racial justice\, LGBTIQ+ affairs and cultural diversity. Giancarlo was recently named as one of the 40 Under 40 Most Influential Asian-Australians of 2021.\n\nThe panel discussion will be facilitated by Australia’s Disability Discrimination Commissioner\, Dr Ben Gauntlett. \nThe discussion will be followed by audience questions\, refreshments\, and presentation of the Inaugural Kim Santow Law and Social Justice Essay Prize. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThursday 1 December 2022\, 6-7.30pm\nCPD points =1.5 \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThis event is presented by the University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Wingarra Djuraliyin: Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law
DESCRIPTION:Wingarra Djuraliyin: Public Lecture on Indigenous Peoples and Law\nSydney Law School is proud to host the annual Wingarra Djuraliyin public lecture\, which showcases Indigenous perspectives on law. \nIn-person event \nSydney Law School is proud to host the annual Wingarra Djuraliyin public lecture\, which showcases Indigenous perspectives on law. \nIn 2022\, the lecture will be delivered by Dr Anne Poelina and Marlikka Perdristat on the topic of ‘First Law: A Climate Chance’. Introductory remarks will be made by by First Nations Lawyer in Residence\, Teela Reid. \n2022 Lecture \nFirst Law: A Climate Chance \nWe share our ancient philosophical framework\, how we continue to enshrine our lifeways and livelihoods in the First Laws. We believe human and non-human beings have an equal right to life. \nThe meaning of life is grounded in the interdependent relationship between all things. There are benefits from promoting earth-centered governance where relationships are inclusive of our nonhuman kin. This balance and harmony with our living cultural landscapes grounds the philosophical framework of values\, ethics\, and belief that the Law is in the Land\, not in Man. \nWe believe we can share and dream together so we can better understand how we\, as human beings\, can once again start to live in harmony with each other and with everything around us. We need to dream a new reality and defend our amazing planet\, Mother Earth\, and life itself from climate chaos and destruction. Otherwise\, Mother Earth will be lonely without the vibrations of human beings! \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nTuesday 8 November\, 6-7.30pm\nCPD points =1.5 \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThe speakers \nProfessor Anne Poelina is Co-Chair of Indigenous Studies at the Nulungu Institute Research University of Notre Dame\, and Adjunct Professor at the College of Indigenous Education Futures\, Arts & Society\, Charles Darwin University\, Darwin.
