2024 Margaret Henry Memorial Lecture with Dr Leslie Cannold
About
Renowned Australian ethicist and writer Dr Leslie Cannold will be delivering the 2024 Margaret Henry Memorial Lecture on the theme of environmental activism across all generations. Dr Cannold will argue that those in her generation and older must do more to support young climate activists who tend to be the ones putting their bodies on the line in acts of civil disobedience, and that such radical action is needed to “yank governments into crisis mode”. A medical ethicist and author who began her career working with Peter Singer, Dr Cannold is known for her ability to translate complex ideas for non-specialist audiences on social media, radio and TV, including a widely watched TEDx talk and repeated appearances on ABC TV’s Compass and Q+A. She has chapters in Destroying the Joint and The Australian Book of Atheism and her books include The Abortion Myth, What, No Baby? and the historical novel The Book of Rachael.Introductions by Jasmine Stuart, Renewable Energy Engineer and activist.
