Charles Sturt University will be launching a Provocations blog at Professor Ganna Pogrebna Provocations Public Lecture at Bathurst on 16 August. Professor Pogrebna will discuss behavioural data science as a game changer for understanding the interface between human and digital systems in the new digital economy. Tickets are available from https://research.csu.edu.au/engage-with-us/provocations
Provocations will be a series of blogs written by prominent thinkers that seek to address the grand challenges confronting regional Australia and the world. How can we mitigate climate change and build climate proof, safe and sustainable communities? Can First Nations ways of knowing, being and doing guide sustainable development? How can we reinforce Australia’s supply chains and sovereign manufacturing capability in a post-Covid world? Is it possible to achieve productive and circular agriculture? How can we reduce income inequality between urban and regional Australia and build more inclusive communities? Does liberal democracy need to be redefined in a post-Covid world? How can we build a knowledgeable, inclusive and resilient citizenry prepared for the challenges of the future? Does Australia’s relationship with China require a radical rethink? Is there a role for faith in contemporary democratic thought?
Provocations will challenge orthodoxy through new thinking but will also revive policy ideas and political thought from the past for one more encore.
Further details to come.
