As
Director of the Hawke Centre I am pleased to be supporting the
International Centre for Muslim and non-Muslim Understanding,
working with the originator of the idea, the Hon Bob Hawke and with
colleagues in the Division of Education, Arts and Social Sciences to
bring it to fruition.
The Hawke Centre is devoted to three things..Strengthening our Democracy - Valuing our Diversity - Building our Future and the creation of this new research Centre of Excellence within the Hawke Research Institute is a clear expression of these values.
Our first collaboration is to support the visit of Zainah Anwar to Adelaide for the 2009 Festival of Ideas. Zainah is project Director for Musawah, a global movement for equality and justice in the Muslim family.
| Nelson Mandela,
International Patron of the Hawke Centre, has said:
"As long as injustice and inequality persist in
our world, none of us can truly rest. We must become stronger
still." (On receiving the Ambassador of Conscience Award from Amnesty International 2006). |
I look forward to helping to progress these ideals and undertaking further collaborations with the new International Centre for Muslim and non-Muslim Understanding.
