Talking Sideways

Reg Dodd is an Arabunna Elder who grew up at Finniss Springs, bordering Lake Eyre. Malcolm McKinnon is his long-time friend. Their ongoing conversation has led to Talking Sideways, a book about culture, knowledge and place, full of engrossing stories and fascinating people. Warm and enlightening, Talking Sideways is a story of the shared, complicated history of Black and White Australia and a generous extension of Reg’s lifelong conversation to bridge the cultural divide between the two.

Chair: Jared Thomas
