PROFESSOR MICK DODSON AM
2009 AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR
How well do we know each other?
The Lecturer
Professor Mick Dodson AM is the Director of the National Centre for Indigenous
Studies, ANU, a Professor of Law at the ANU College of Law and Co-Chair of
Reconciliation Australia. Mick Dodson is a vigorous advocate of the rights and
interests of Indigenous peoples in Australia and the world. He has been a member of
the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues since 2005.
The Lecture
Reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is broadly accepted as essential to our national well-being. It is strongly desired. At an institutional level, we are more prepared to back good intentions with action. But at a more personal, intimate level, beyond celebrating the concept of reconciliation and a willingness to participate in public events: what do we really know of each other? Mick Dodson considers the private domain of reconciliation.
