    #20 What would a higher form of reconciliation look like?

    Join Stan and Jack, as they reflect on Stan's Federation University Annual Reconciliation Lecture. How well do words like Treaty, Reconciliation, Sovereignty, and Decolonisation still serve us? Or need we find a different way of speaking about reconciliation? What would that sound like and where would we begin?

    #17 Among the Ruins: On Writing a Novel in England

    Join Stan and Jack as they speak (this time, in person!) about Stan’s journey to Oxford to write a new novel. They discuss their plans for Stan's stay, his initial thoughts on creative writing, what makes England a beautiful place to live and think, but also some of the challenges posed to England's identity by globalisation, insecurity, and a crumbling global order. (Please excuse the sound quality and background sounds—we excitedly decided to record this outside on a sunny day at Jack’s home in Oxford, oblivious to the busy street outside).
