Subject: National Conference on Racism

 

Dear Dawn,

 

It was lovely meeting you on Saturday. Thank you for organizing such an
important workshop.

 

As discussed, I am sending you the National Conference on Racism information
below for distribution to the network mailing list. The Conference website
http://ncrgc.murdoch.edu.au/  needs to be updated -Associate Prof Pat
Dudgeon who is coordinating an Indigenous Women's Voices Roundtable,
Professor Aileen Moreton-Robinson (author of talking up to the White Woman:
Indigenous Women and Feminism) has accepted the invitation to speak and Prof
Linda Tuhiwai Smith (will cover Maori education as anti-racism strategy). We
expect an Indigenous leader Pat Dodson and activist Archie Roach to attend
the premier of the new Indigenous film Lyarng Yarn which will be launched at
Murdoch as part of the conference program. We will update the website as
soon as they confirm.  

 

I should also mention that we have received submissions from Moslem women -
an interesting one is dealing with Moslem women (youth) and racism. We also
expect a presentation on Moslem Community and Racism from Lakemba, Sydney.
There is also a submission on Moslem youth and the media.

 

Is there a possibility of assisting us to email the information below to the
network list as discussed? - I would very much appreciate your assistance.

 

Thank you and look forward to working with you.

 

Regards 

 

Casta

 

Murdoch University is hosting a National Conference on Racism in a Global
Context to be held from 9th Nov - 11th Nov 2007. The conference is a
partnership between Murdoch University with the Human Rights and Equal
opportunity Commission of Australia (HREOC), the Equal Opportunity
Commission of Western Australia, the Office of Multicultural Interests, the
WA Police, the Office of Crime Prevention and The Department of Indigenous
Affairs (DIA). The conference will have community and academic components.

 

Following on from the UN World Conference against Racism (WCAR) held in
Durban South Africa, the Murdoch conference will bring together delegates
from a range of backgrounds and disciplines to review and extend themes and
issues raised at WCAR, and to explore experiences and effects of racism.

Visit the conference web site for detailed information, including guidelines
for submissions and registration:

<http://ncrgc.murdoch.edu.au/>

We are very keen to have presentations from academics & researchers, those
working in the community sector, and members of the community. 

We hope you will be able to participate. 

Please pass this information on to others who you think might be interested.


 

Thank you and regards,

 

Casta
