Melbourne: 15 December: Forum, Anti-Terrorism and the Police
Melbourne: 15 December: Forum, Anti-Terrorism and the Police State
This free evening public forum will provide an opportunity for audience and guest speaker discussion of the recently passed anti-terrorism laws. The forum is the first in an interdisciplinary series of events jointly hosted by the Institute for International Law and the Humanities, Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy, Ashworth Centre for Social Theory (all of Melbourne University) as well as the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies - Deakin University, and the Institute of Postcolonial Studies. Building on other forums like laws for insecurity, this seminar will combine the perspectives of guest speakers with public discussion to offer information about the new laws, contextual analysis of legislating against terrorism, the potential for the new laws to limit critical debate, and a consideration of the laws relationship with a police state.
After opening comments by the invited panel of guest speakers, general discussion will be facilitated by Peter Rush and Juliet Rogers, both of Melbourne University Law School.
Speakers will include:
Ian Duncanson (Institute of Postcolonial Studies; Griffith University)
Geoff Boucher (Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, Deakin University; Community Activist)
Joo-Cheong Tham (Law School, Melbourne University)
Marika Dias (Federation of Community Legal Centres)
Date: Thursday 15 December, 2005
Time: 5:30pm - 7:30pm (forum)
7:30pm onwards (drinks)
Location: Room G08, Law Building, 185 Pelham Street
RSVP: Miss Emma Brimfield - ecb@unimelb.edu.au
