SUMMARY:Joseph Stiglitz on tackling inequality: What's next?
DESCRIPTION:“The problem of inequality is not so much a matter of technical economics. It’s really a problem of practical politics.” Joseph E. Stiglitz \nIn both developing and developed nations\, the gap between the rich and the rest is spiraling out of control – a haunting reality that according to Professor Joseph Stiglitz is neither accidental nor inevitable. Globalisation and rapid technological change coupled with the disappearing safety net of the welfare state have left many struggling to get by. \nThese are challenges that Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Stiglitz – author\, academic and perhaps the closest thing in the world to a celebrity economist – sets out to solve.  \nSo\, is our economic system fundamentally broken? Has radical inequality become our inevitable global future\, or can significant overhaul of public policy “fix it”? \nDiagnosing inequality is much easier than solving it. If politics and public policy have gone hand in hand with the rise of inequality\, what will it take for governments to build enough political will to turn the tide? What role does international coordination play in helping states tackle this global problem? And how can everyday Australians strengthen the push for change? \nIn this talk marking his 2018 Sydney Peace Prize win\, Joseph Stiglitz will explain which ideas about wealth distribution and taxation should be discredited or revived\, how the economic status quo ties in with the recent upsurge in populism\, and what economic scholarship should do to help bring policies in step with today’s economic transformations. \nProfessor Stiglitz will appear in conversation with Dr Alexandra Heath\, Head of the Economic Analysis Department at the Reserve Bank of Australia. \nThis talk is hosted by the School of Economics\, Sydney Policy Lab and Sydney Peace Foundation. \nPLEASE NOTE: Doors open at 10:00am for a prompt 10:30am start. \nLOCATION: Social Sciences Building Lecture Theatre 200\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus. See map: bit.ly/SSBSydneyUni

SUMMARY:Joseph Stiglitz: Global Inequality and the 1%
DESCRIPTION:‘Wealth begets power\, which begets more wealth\,’ Joseph Stiglitz has argued. \nIs our economic system fundamentally broken? Who\, exactly\, are the 1% and how did they get to control so much of the world’s wealth and resources? And are free-market fundamentalists shooting themselves in the Louboutin with short-term\, self-serving policies? \nThese are among the questions that preoccupy Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Stiglitz – author\, academic and perhaps the closest thing in the world to a celebrity economist. \nStarting out as a student activist during the civil-rights movement\, Stiglitz\, now a professor at Columbia University\, has devoted his working life to understanding and rectifying the complex problems of global poverty and inequality. Stiglitz coined the notion of ‘the 1%’ in his influential 2012 book\, The Price of Inequality\, and has served as an economic advisor at the United Nations and as chief economist at the World Bank. \nIn Australia to receive the 2018 Sydney Peace Prize\, Stiglitz will appear in conversation with Mary Kostakidis at the Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne to discuss global inequality – and what we can do about it. Is profound economic overhaul possible in advanced democracies? Which old ideas about wealth distribution are discredited\, and which deserve to be revived? And how does the recent global wave of populist political movements play into\, and against\, the economic status quo? \nPresented in partnership with the Sydney Peace Foundation\, Oxfam Australia and the Reichstein Foundation. \nEmbiggen Books will be our bookseller at this event. \nThis event will be Auslan interpreted.

SUMMARY:Screening of Border Politics\, and live Q&A with Julian Burnside
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to bring you an exciting opportunity to see 2014 Sydney Peace Prize recipient Julian Burnside’s new documentary Border Politics\, and to enjoy a live Q&A with Burnside himself! \nBorder Politics follows Burnside as he travels the globe examining the harsh treatment of refugees at the hands of western democracies. This contemporary story is about the threat to human rights\, the loss of democratic values and our increasingly heartless treatment of ‘the other’. Seventy years after the world constructed international conventions to ensure the horrors of World War 2 wouldn’t be repeated\, Burnside finds it terrifying to see Australian and other western political leaders exploiting fears around border protection to extend political power. \nDon’t miss this exciting opportunity to hear from Burnside on his experience filming Border Politics\, and how we can turn the ship around and regain our humanity. \nWe are pleased to offer Sydney Peace Foundation supporters special discounted $15 tickets! Don’t miss out\, join us for this exciting event.

SUMMARY:Wheeler Centre\, Melbourne - Black Lives Matter: In Conversation with Jack Latimore
DESCRIPTION:In February 2012\, an unarmed African-American high-school student\, Trayvon Martin\, was shot dead in Sanford\, Florida. His death was a flashpoint in American race relations\, sparking protests across the United States and the beginning of a totally new kind of civil-rights movement: #blacklivesmatter. \nThe movement – founded by Patrisse Cullors\, Opal Tometi and Alicia Garza – fights for justice and dignity for black people. Diffuse\, inclusive and multifaceted\, #blacklivesmatter has built momentum online and\, crucially\, on the ground. Its activists have enjoyed wins in court rooms\, in the media\, on the streets and in Barack Obama’s White House. The message has resonated across the globe\, with large turnouts for rallies not just across the US but also in Brazil\, Australia\, South Africa and other countries. \nIn Australia to collect the Sydney Peace Prize\, four of Black Lives Matter’s founders and leaders – Cullors\, Tometi and Garza\, and Toronto BLM Chapter co-founder Rodney Diverlus – will talk with Jack Latimore about the achievements and broader goals of #blacklivesmatter … and how we can translate the lessons of the movement to face and fight entrenched inequality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. \nPresented in partnership with the Sydney Peace Foundation.

SUMMARY:Sold out: Naomi Klein in Conversation - in Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:In Australia to receive the 2016 Sydney Peace Prize\, Klein will appear in conversation with Aamer Rahman at the Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne. What are the specifics of Klein’s ideas for a new economic model? In the Australian context\, how does Klein see climate action intersecting with other social justice causes\, such as the Indigenous land rights movement? And how can the threat of climate change build unity and create momentum for change? \nProvocative\, polemical and resolute –  Klein has dedicated herself to scrutinising the global economic system and imagining ways to make it cleaner\, fairer and sustainable. With bestselling books including No Logo and The Shock Doctrine\, the Canadian writer and activist has made arguments for a fundamental overhaul of the status quo. \nMost recently\, through her book and international campaign\, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate\, Klein’s focus has been on the urgent question of climate change. At home in Canada\, these ideas have found expression in The Leap Manifesto – an alliance of writers\, artists and activists proposing urgent\, radical restructure of trade and energy policy. \nIn partnership with the Wheeler Centre \n \n  \n  \n  \nSupported by

SUMMARY:Freedom Ride - a Play by Kinetic Energy
DESCRIPTION:From the creative talent who brought you Empire\, Kinetic Energy Theatre Company brings you: Freedom Ride. \nThe story of the FREEDOM RIDE is relevant to the following curriculum areas: History\, Legal Studies\, Drama\, English and Aboriginal Studies. It is an historical re-enactment informed by the language and cultural behaviour of the time\, and draws attention to the question of racism today\, and elements of racism in the Australian Constitution. \nThe play is based on the following major sources: Professor Ann Curthoys’ book “Let’s Have A Freedom Ride”\, Darce Cassidy’s audio recordings of the events\, and Charles Perkins’ biography “A Bastard Like Me”. From this material\, combined with music\, jive-talk and other cultural aspects of the time\, Kinetic Energy Theatre Co’s co-directors have created a powerful and entertaining interactive play. \nWe show the lead up and preparation by the Sydney University students\, and then zoom in on events transpiring in the town of Walgett. We portray the key people who were there: the great Aboriginal leader Charles Perkins\, the famous Aboriginal woman Pat Walford (best known for her “I’m black and I’m proud of it” speech in Walgett)\, student leaders Ann Curthoys and Jim Spigelman\, Wendy Golding and Darce Cassidy. Several small parts are played by volunteers chosen and briefed on the day\, such as the Aboriginal ex-serviceman who is denied entry into the Walgett RSL\, or the manager of the Oasis Hotel-Motel who is afraid to lose business if he allows ‘blacks & whites to mix’. There are eight volunteer parts in all. This active participation is highly educational and has an immediate\, positive effect on the audience: the story becomes their story. \nWe look at the tools of the global peace movement: non-violent direct action\, as initiated by Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King. And we are left with some nagging questions: What was achieved? Does the reality lived by Aboriginal people today correspond with their rights won then\, and since then? Are these achievements just on paper? What is indigenous struggle about now? \nBy bringing this famous event from our Australian history to life through drama and song\, our audience gains insight into what it is like to be marginalized and dispossessed\, and to be denied your human rights. It is a joyful and inspirational story of courage and conviction\, one that brought many Australians together in a shared cause. It taps into the courage needed to stand up for those rights\, and shows the importance of engagement and debate as instruments to overcome ignorance. It invites us all to be an active part of that debate. \nUN conventions support the rights of Indigenous Peoples: \nUnited Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\, 2007: Sets out the individual and group rights of indigenous peoples\, to their culture\, identity\, language\, employment\, health and education. \nUnited Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child\, 1989\, Article 30: Children have the right to learn and use the language and customs of their families\, whether these are shared by the majority of people in the country or not. \nVillage Space is a joint venture of Kinetic Energy Theatre Company and the educational branch of Catholic Mission (for their social justice & human rights curriculum)\, and is sponsored by Catholic Mission. Kinetic Energy has developed this interactive issue-based theatre format over the last 11 years and covered a range of social justice subjects. Our 2014 program comprises two plays\, namely “THE FREEDOM RIDE”\, and “WHERE IS MY HOME?” (about asylum seekers and refugees). These are available to schools\, universities\, targeted communities and conferences\, in NSW\, Queensland\, Victoria and Tasmania. \nContact Kinetic Energy: \nFor more information please phone our Kinetic Energy office: 02 9665 6489\nEmail: kineticenergy@iprimus.com.au\nCatholic Mission office: 02 9919 7821 (Jenny Collins-White)
