Summary

The 2022 Boyer Lectures: Recognition by Noel Pearson will reflect on 'where we have come since W.E.H. Stanner’s 1968 Boyer Lectures After the Dreaming and look at where we are today and what lies in prospect, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and for Australians at large'. The five lectures will cover the following topics: Recognition – Who we were, who we are and who we can beRecognition – A rightful but not separate placeRecognition – A job guarantee for the bottom millionRecognition – EducationRecognition – Identity Noel Pearson is the Founder and Director of Strategy of the Cape York Partnership, a non-profit organisation that works to empower Indigenous families and communities in Cape York and Cairns to break the cycle of disadvantage.
