The Wheeler Centre

Young Faithful / Faith, religion & spirituality

Fatima Measham, Amal Ibrahim, Nevo Zisin and Brooke Rutherford at the Wheeler Centre

In 2001, 19% of people aged under 24 identified as not religious. By 2016, the figure had increased to 35%. We're losing our religion – fast. What might we be losing along with it? And what's it like to be a young believer in an increasingly secular society?

For this conversation, we brought together three young people from different faiths – Amal Ibrahim, Nevo Zisin and Brooke Rutherford – to discuss the role religion plays in their lives.

Can religious institutions change the way they talk to young people? How does religious faith enrich the lives of young Australians? How is faith tested or altered during adolescence and young adulthood? And how does faith intersect with questions of race, gender and sexuality?

Monica Lewinsky / Sexism & feminism

With Monica Lewinsky and Sophie Black

It’s hard to imagine anyone better qualified to speak about the ubiquity of bullying, humiliation and harassment in our culture than Monica Lewinsky. This August, when announced as a producer on the forthcoming series of American Crime Story, her public statement was characteristically considered, forthright and impressive: ‘People have been co-opting and telling my part in this story for…

Not all of us can afford to lean in, because some of us aren’t even in the room. How can feminism succeed if we’re at the mercy of capitalism?

We’re rightly galvanised by the fact that there are more CEOs at ASX200 companies in Australia named Andrew than there are women – but when…

Taking Up Space: Building the City That We Deserve / Sexism & feminism

With Gala Vanting, Jax Jacki Brown, Caroline Martin and 2 others

Single session tickets are now available.

A woman’s place in the world and right to move through it freely has always been controlled. Workplaces, our city streets, pubs and parks are not just traditionally unwelcoming, but can be dangerous and destructive. Patriarchy has, until now, dominated our public spaces, and the way that different bodies and identities are policed within…

Necessary Truths: Fatima Bhutto and Mona Eltahawy / Sexism & feminism

With Fatima Bhutto, Mona Eltahawy, and Sisonke Msimang

Single session tickets are now available.

There's a million reasons why we're told to keep quiet on difficult subjects: propriety and decorum, convention and status, fear of retribution. When women try to introduce nuance into certain public debates, it doesn't usually go well for them. Western media conglomerates are often more interested in protecting power than interrogating it.
