Event: Thu 25 July 2013: Acton, Canberra, ACT
TASA 50th Anniversary Lecture:
'Indigenous Child Sexual Abuse:
Who is Responsible for Effecting Change?'
Guest speaker: Dr. Kylie Cripps, a Pallawah woman and
senior lecturer in the Indigenous Law Centre UNSW
The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) and the
Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS)
"Dr Cripps will provide evidence of how race, gender,
class and age impact on the emotions, reactions and
behaviours of key players in responding to child sexual
abuse. She will consider how power and privilege influence
decisions in ways that have a detrimental impact on
Indigenous children, their mothers and broader kin
networks. The Royal Commission into Institutional
responses to Child Sexual Abuse marks an opportunity
for us to reflect on available evidence, theoretical understandings
and interpretations of that evidence, and to imagine, as the
Commission will be doing, how we may effect institutional
change. This paper will contribute to that initiative."

Exhibition now showing:
First Australians - Resistance
"The lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples were profoundly changed by the arrival
of British colonists in 1788. Lives were lost
and land taken as the colonisers attempted to
impose new social, economic and religious
orders. ... "
"Indigenous people responded in a variety of ways.
Some fought back with weapons. Others
developed different strategies to survive this
new and hostile presence."
"Here we present four of these stories."
