RCSC Breakfast Meeting Friday 13 Nov 2026
Description
Speaker: Dr Cecilia White - Hat's Life: Social Justice and the Importance of Everything
Join us this week to hear from Dr Cecilia White, artist, poet, and Convenor of German Studies at the University of New England.
Cecilia’s path has taken her from a career in banking to the gallery and the lecture hall. Her PhD at UNSW Art & Design explored performance art and multilingual text, uncovering an unexpected link between wonder and anxiety through what she calls a “poetics of breath”.
Her work has carried her around the world, with residencies in Paris, Rome and Finland, a Coleridge Society bursary in the UK, and a scholarship in Perugia. Her research on emotion, translation and belonging has been presented across Australia, Europe and Canada, and in 2024 she exhibited in the Hand in Hand: Peace & Justice exhibition at NERAM. A lifelong language learner, she is currently studying Italian at the University of Sydney.
Cecilia will share her personal story and the experiences that have shaped her life as an artist, scholar and educator.
