Conversations About Recognition

What kind of recognition would be meaningful for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people? This program takes a step back from discussions about constitutional change to ask this important question.  It aims to help non-Aboriginal people understand the views, feelings and experiences of Aboriginal people, so they can help create real change and social justice.

And to think about recognitions in their own lives; what do each of us take for granted; what makes many of us feel acknowledged, accepted and valued? What does it mean to you?

Radio Adelaide, the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement of South Australia and SACOSS  have joined forces to bring these conversations to the radio,  always a great place to listen in on a yarn.

Your conversation starters are Dwayne Coulthard and Marnie Round.  Dwayne is a Adnyamathanha/Kokatha man, currently in his fourth year of a Bachelor of Laws and one of our new radio producers.  Marnie has English and Barossa Deutsch heritage, and long experience as a radio producer and anthropologist. Deadly combo.

Conversations About Recognition is supported by the Australian Government through the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and through the Community Broadcasting Foundation.
