Hailing from the Apalech clan of far North Queensland, Aboriginal poet, scholar and founder of the Indigenous Knowledges Lab at Deakin University, Tyson Yunkaporta, is known for taking readers on exhilarating intellectual journeys.
Moving from Aboriginal ways of knowing to economics, from Western philosophy to Viking worldviews, from science to sex to stories, Tyson canvasses a broad range of topics and perspectives to tackle contemporary crises head on.
Regaled with the cadence and verve of great oral storytelling, Tyson’s latest book, Wrong Story, Right Story, is a critique of how ‘wrong stories’ have set us on a dangerous path, severing knowledge from the interrelated networks it springs from. Through a series of dazzling thought experiments and yarns, Tyson unpicks where things have unravelled and explores how we might go about regaining right relation with the world.
Profound, provocative and hugely engaging, don’t miss seeing Tyson in conversation with award-winning author and broadcaster, Meredith Lake.
