In Conversation - Professor Sandra Harding
23/11/2008
To complement the Boyer Lectures we present some in depth interviews by robyn Williams from his program In Conversation. this week Robyn speaks with Professor Sandra Harding, the relatively new vice-chancellor at James Cook University in Townsville. Professor Harding reminds us that over one third of Australia is tropical and yet only one major university in this country, apart from Charles Darwin in the NT, is properly equipped to handle the range of topics so important to the north of our region. And, unlike some, they also have a successful campus in Singapore.

24/08/2008

An unflinching assessment of postmodern times from the man who brought us Growth Fetish and Affluenza. Recorded at Sydney Ideas, at the University of Sydney.
