When Words Fail Us: Truth, listening and finding common ground
Description
In an age of division, noise and rapid change, how do we find our way back to meaningful conversation?
Join Stan Grant for a powerful public lecture exploring the ideas behind his latest book When Words Fail Us: Truth Beyond Time (UNSW Press, 2026).
Drawing on philosophy, history and lived experience, Stan reflects on the limits of language in a fractured world - and the urgent need to reconnect through deeper forms of understanding.
At the heart of this conversation is Yindyamarra - a Wiradyuri philosophy grounded in respect, humility and deep listening. Through this lens, the event invites us to reconsider how we
engage with one another, especially in moments where words fall short.
This is more than a lecture.
It is a call to pause, reflect and listen — to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us.
