Fireside: Sky Stories 

Sharing First Nations’ knowledge of the universe and stars above

Ray Norris
Bruce Pascoe
Two knowledge-holders of the secrets of the universe share stories about the stars above us.

In this free fireside event, Professor of Astrophysics Ray Norris and Aboriginal farmer and multi-award-winning writer Bruce Pascoe consider astronomy, astrophysics and our place in the world. In their co-authored book Big Sky: When the Emu Left the Earth, they bring together science and philosophy to reframe astronomy through a First Nations’ knowledge and Law lens with insights into how to navigate the climate crisis.

Join Ray and Bruce for a thoughtful discussion of the universe under stars.
