Workshop with Lorna Hallahan
About
Narrating injustice: how do advocates resist harming testifiers?Sharing personal stories is a powerful part of advocacy work and effecting societal change. Sharing stories also raises ethical questions, particularly concerns related to testimonial injustice and hermeneutical injustice. In this workshop, Associate Professor Lorna Hallahan, who wrote ‘Disability in Australia – Shadows, struggles and successes’ (the Research Report for the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability), will lead an inquiry-based process to explore the use and abuse of personal studies in advocacy.
This workshop is ideal for anyone engaged in advocacy or seeking to effect positive social change, whether that be from the pulpit as preachers, from the publicity offices of welfare organisations, or from the podium in political life.
Cost: $50 ($35 student concession)
