Reflections on the Voice with Prof Andrew Gunstone

We welcome Professor Andrew Gunstone to Shepparton to speak about Reflections on the Voice. Join us from 5:30pm at Latrobe University.

Professor Gunstone is a leading international authority in reconciliation. He is Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor Reconciliation and Professor Indigenous Studies at Federation University, where he leads all reconciliation matters, including the National Centre for Reconciliation, Truth, and Justice, which he established in February 2023. He is also Co-Chair of the Board of Directors at Reconciliation Victoria, Foundation Editor of the Journal of Australian Indigenous Issues, which he established in 1998, and sits on several national and regional reconciliation committees and working groups. He regularly provides expert advice on reconciliation to corporates, industry, community, governments, and academia.

Professor Gunstone’s new book ‘Reflections on the Voice - during and after the campaign’ has just been published. This is the first book to explore the Referendum and its aftermath, and the implications of both for Australia’s ongoing national journey of reconciliation. The book, written for a general audience, explores a number of critical areas, including: reconciliation, racism, Indigenous rights, ‘equality’, truth-telling, community engagements, international agreements, such as UNDRIP, allyship, and recommitting to Voice, Treaty, and Truth.
