The Effective Living Centre welcomes Professor Peter Stanley, former Principal Historian at the Australian War Memorial, speaking on The Future of Memory.
Remembrance of war in Australia has largely gone unquestioned. As society changes. we face renewed questions about commemoration in a very different nation. Australians are rightly asking questions about who and what we ‘remember’, why and how, and what we continue to forget.
Peter argues that while the understanding and commemoration of war’s place in Australian history remains important, the nexus between commemoration, Christianity, militarism, and nationalism needs to be questioned.
Commemoration needs to embrace the frontier war that constituted the foundation of the Australian nation, and memories of wars among the people of a much more diverse nation.
Music by the Fiddle Chicks, drinks and nibbles from 7.00pm with formal proceedings commencing at 7.30pm.
