About this Event
This milestone event will be a significant occasion to reflect on the legacy of Dr. Charles Duguid OBE and Mrs. Phyllis Duguid OAM, dedicated campaigners for Aboriginal rights. Their advocacy for legislative reforms and fairer work conditions led to the formation of the ‘Aborigines Advancement League’, which later contributed a generous donation to Flinders University and Uni SA to fund study grants for First Nations students that continue to this day.
Yungkurrinthi is pleased to invite you to the 30th Anniversary of the Duguid Memorial Lecture, My truth: Racial Gaslighting and First Nations Inequity in Australia, presented by Professor Janine Mohamed. Professor Mohamed is a Narrunga woman from Point Pearce, was the CEO of the Lowitja Institute until earlier this year and is renowned for her distinguished work in advancing Indigenous health.
The lecture will take place on:
Date: Monday, 11th November, 2024
Time: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: Flinders City Campus, Level 14, Festival Tower, Station Rd
This year's lecture promises to be a deeply reflective and engaging event, celebrating the enduring impact of the Duguids and their advocacy for Aboriginal rights.
