A Social Sciences Week special event
Tuesday 10 September | 5pm arrival for 6pm start

Join us for a lively evening of discussion and debate at the National Library of Australia (NLA) in Canberra as we explore the power of social media to bring us together, or push us apart. Our esteemed speakers are Academy Fellows and published authors, Professor Lisa Given and Distinguished Professor Anthony Elliott AM, who will take the stage to explore this fascinating theme alongside former Seriously Social podcast host and journalist Ginger Gorman as moderator.

The Great Debate promises to be a thought-provoking and entertaining event, with opportunities for audience participation and engagement.

Ticket includes canapes on arrival (from 5pm). The debate will begin at 6pm, followed by Q&A.

This event is proudly brought to you by the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and the National Library of Australia.
