You are warmly invited to an expert panel event led by JBC’s Professor Marinella Marmo to explore the enduring legacy of
colonialism through personal experience and political reflection.
The seminar is anchored in The Chosen Son, Professor Leanne Weber’s deeply moving account of the forced removal of her
Aboriginal foster brother, Len, in the late 1950s and his subsequent placement in her
Adelaide family.
Building from this intimate narrative, the discussion will provide a timely platform to critically examine how contemporary laws,
policies, and practices, both at State and Federal levels, continue to shape the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
