Shireen Morris: Statements from the Soul - A Panel Discussion

On the 21st of February 2023, our director and founder Dr Shireen Morris sat on a panel at Trinity College to discuss the new book, Statements from the Soul: The Moral Case for the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

This book contains a collection of essays by diverse religious leaders and thinkers, making the moral case for the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the upcoming Indigenous Voice referendum.

Dr Shireen Morris and Damien Freeman are the editors of this book, which is available for purchase here.

Trinity College at the University of Melbourne hosted a panel discussion with some of the authors and editors: The Most Reverend Peter A. Comensoli, Fiona Jose, Bhikkhu Sujato and Shireen Morris.

They explored their views on why the referendum on Indigenous constitutional recognition through an Indigenous Voice boils down to moral questions, about who we are as a country and whether Indigenous communities deserve to be heard in laws and policies that affect them.

The recorded event is available to view here.

This event was hosted by Trinity College, University of Melbourne, on Tuesday 21 February 2023 and moderated by Patricia Karvelas.
