Join us for the launch of Politics: Philosophical Ordering by Country. We are delighted to welcome authors Honorary Professor Mary Graham and Professor Morgan Brigg for an engaging In Conversation exploring the ideas and insights behind the book. Following the discussion, guests are invited to enjoy an exclusive book signing and connect with fellow attendees over drinks and refreshments.

About Politics

First Nations peoples of Australia are among the world's oldest political designers. For them, Country isn't just a place to live, it's part of the network of relationships that shape responsibilities, behaviour and decision-making - a template for living together.

First Nations social and political systems balance individual freedom with a strong sense of responsibility and connection to others. By placing relationships at the centre, these systems encourage ethical behaviour and create long-term stability and security.

Mary Graham and Morgan Brigg interrogate and unpack two political systems - cultural and colonial - that appear to be at opposite ends of a continuum. Politics is about how these two systems can move together and, in these unpredictable times, help to guide the building of a modern Australia.

All are welcome to attend our free event.
