On Country Interculturally
Event description
Newham & District Landcare Group invites you to, On Country Interculturally: Thinking about places as cultural as well as physical landscapes, with guest speaker, Dr Angela Foley, from Merri Creek Management Committee.
This discussion aims to strengthen ethical understandings for conservationists and land managers, touch on aspects of Wurundjeri Cultural revival, being a non-Indigenous ally, and engaging with Traditional Owners in a meaningful way.
We'll explore what happens when landscapes are continuously altered over time (pre- and post-contact): and how we all continue to connect to place.
Dr Angela Foley’s main interest is enjoying and acknowledging Country as a non-Indigenous ally. Angela’s career in education and advocacy has been mainly for the tertiary (UNSW, WSU, RMIT, Monash and Melbourne Universities) and in the not-for profit sectors (for community and schools). At Merri Creek Management Committee for over 20 years, she now leads Biodiversity & Waterway Education (Caring for Country) by developing and delivering innovative programs to several thousand people every year. Angela has an honours degree in Geography from University of New South Wales and completed her PhD thesis The art of place-making in Wurundjeri Country today (2020)*
Doors open at 7:00pm for a 7:30 start. Supper to follow presentation.
