About the event
Systemic racism, in law, policies and service delivery, has serious and ongoing consequences for First Nations peoples, including poor mental and physical health, economic disadvantage, over-incarceration and social exclusion.
This lecture and panel discussion is an opportunity to hear about their experiences and proposed solutions.
Addressing these issues requires a concerted effort to reform systems, educate individuals, and ensure meaningful representation for First Nations peoples.
The annual Kep Enderby Memorial Lecture advances public understanding and debate about the Racial Discrimination Act, racism and human rights. It honours the Hon. Kep Enderby QC (1926-2015) who as Attorney-General, introduced into Parliament the Bill which would become the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth).
Registration deadline: Thursday 31 October 2024.
