This panel discussion opened the UC difficult conversations event featuring a conversation between university leaders and artists from Canberra and Ulster.
UC acknowledges the Ngunnawal people, traditional custodians of the lands where the Bruce campus is situated.
We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of Canberra and the region.
We also acknowledge all other First Nations Peoples on whose lands we gather.
