UniSA Education Futures Visiting Research Fellowship Program supported by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research and Enterprise, and sponsored by Dr. David Bunton and Ms. Helen Stacey-Bunton, proudly presents a Masterclass with Dr. Tyson Yunkaporta.
In this Masterclass, Dr Tyson Yunkaporta will explore the Indigenous concept of 'wrong story' in light of disinformation, propaganda and conspiracy theories, tracking a through line from the Ancient Greek myth of Hyperborea to modern fascism. The Masterclass will explore with participants approaches to creating a collective 'right story' over deep time. Two pre-readings are listed below and additional reading will be shared ahead of the workshop.
