Thursday, October 6
11:30 am to 1:00 pm
Inga Simpson, Danielle Clode and Jessica White discuss writing, childhood and Australia’s natural world .
Bradley Forum
Level 5 Hawke Building
Adelaide
Children’s books, often written by women, have inspired our engagement with nature and created generations of passionate conservationists. Danielle Clode will talk about Dorothy Wall, the author of Blinky Bill and the campaign to save the koala from imminent extinction in the 1930s. Inga Simpson contemplates what it is to live and write close to nature post Black-Summer, through her process of reforesting a childhood place laden with family and colonial male legacies. She asks whether it is possible, given the weight of ecological grief upon us, to find and nurture our eco-self through relationship with a home patch, no matter how small.
