This course will map out a history of significant ideas that reflect humanity’s search for truth, understanding and meaning. From the birth of rational enquiry in Ancient Greece to the development of current environmental ethics, we’ll investigate key philosophical movements and thinkers that have influenced the way we perceive the world and ourselves. We’ll see how philosophy involves more than abstract thinking; it is also a powerful force that helps to shape the world and can inspire positive change in ourselves and in our communities.

The first European settlers to arrive in WA confronted a species-rich, virtually unknown, diverse flora. James Drummond arrived in the ‘Parmelia’ in 1829 and played a key role in the development of agriculture and horticulture in the Colony. It took more than ten years for his fellow colonists to accept his observations that native poisonous plants were the cause of death of valued animal stock. Drummond became an indefatigable collector of south western plant species and seeds, making the incredible south west flora globally respected. Prior to his retirement Dr Neville Marchant was Head of the WA herbarium.

Are you interested in understanding the political drivers underpinning international negotiations? Ongoing negotiations within the UN and other International Agencies affect the development and implementation of standards, guidelines, human and labour rights, food safety and new policy thinking that can impact upon social, environment, health, economic and security agendas. Former ambassador and multilateral negotiator Anna George will discuss the importance of being able to read the underlying dynamics, tease out the politically sensitive points of difference not generally aired in normal public discourse, and understand the diplomatic clout attached to these positions.

NOTE CHANGE FROM SCHEDULED DATE. Malta and Gozo are two tiny islands sitting just off the coast of Sicily between Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Located strategically at the crossroads of civilisations for thousands of years, they have one of the richest and most interesting histories in the Mediterranean. They have hosted the Romans, Arabs, Knights of St. John, Napoleon and the British Empire, each of which has left its mark. Jane will explore the intertwined histories of Malta and Gozo, and touch briefly on the evolution of their distinct island identities.
