October 9: The Equal Parent Presumption
Dr Edward Kruk … in conversation with Bill Kable
Who determines what’s “best” for children after family separation? And why is it that there is still a bias in favour of a child living in one primary residence? In The Equal Parent Presumption Dr Edward Kruk proposes a child-focused approach based on a standard that considers the best interests of the child from the perspective of the child and a responsibility-to-needs orientation to social justice for children and families. Dr Kruk challenges previous research and ideas to present an evidence-based framework of equal parental responsibility as the most effective means of ensuring the protection of family relationships following divorce and shielding children from ongoing parental conflict and family violence.
October 16: The Soul
Paul Ham … in conversation with Bill Kable
The Soul is a history of the human mind, from the earliest expression of self-consciousness to its unshakeable belief in the great religions and political systems. For thousands of years the soul was an ‘organ’, an entity, something that was part of all of us; that survived the death of the body and ventured to the underworld, or to heaven or hell.
And then, mysteriously, the ‘soul’ disappeared. The Enlightenment called it the ‘mind’. And today, neuroscientists demonstrate that the mind is the creation of the brain. The ‘religious soul’ lives on, in the minds of the faithful, while the secular ‘soul’ means whatever you want it to mean.
In The Soul: A History of the Human Mind critically acclaimed historian Paul Ham embarks on a journey that has never been attempted: to restore the idea of the soul to the human story and to show how belief in, and beliefs arising from, the soul/mind have animated and driven the history of humankind.
