Local author Melissa Ferguson will talk about her science fiction/dystopian novel The Shining Wall at Newcomb; Nina Kenwood will chat about her hit romantic comedy It Sounded Better in my Head at Waurn Ponds; and Enza Gandolfo will be at Drysdale discussing The Bridge, which focusses on the tragic collapse of the West Gate Bridge in 1970.

In acknowledgement of NAIDOC Week 2019, acclaimed author Tony Birch will discuss his latest novel The White Girl, which shines a spotlight on Australia’s racist government policies of the 1960s.

The GRLC is proud to be partnering with the Feminist Writers Festival to deliver two events; a heat of the Australian Poetry Slam will be hosted at the Geelong Library & Heritage Centre and we’ve partnered with Tastes of Central Geelong to host a high tea and live performance to coincide with the birthday of Emily Brontë.

OPEN MIND SERIES

OPEN MIND SERIES TOM DOIG – THE SUPER WICKED PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is everywhere – and nowhere. It is simultaneously the most urgent problem facing humanity, and a hopelessly abstract concept that’s impossible for us to wrap our heads around. While 97% of the world’s climate scientists agree that human-caused climate change is already underway, it’s much harder for us – as nations, as communities, as individuals – to work out what this actually means, or what we should do about it. Academics have taken to describing climate change as a ‘super wicked problem’.

Since 2013, former Portarlington resident Tom Doig has been interviewing activists, scientists, climate change deniers and everyday citizens across Australia about their lived experiences of climate change.

This project led to two books focusing on the 2014 Hazelwood mine fire disaster. In this Open Mind talk, Tom will talk about his own experiences adjusting to life under climate change, including two years of not flying on planes and a memorable trans-Tasman container ship adventure. He will also share other people’s stories of species extinction in the Northern Territory, bushfires in Victoria, existential angst in Melbourne and storm surges on the Bellarine.

Tom Doig has written two books about the 2014 Hazelwood mine fire disaster, Hazelwood (November 2019) and The Coal Face (2015, winner of Oral History Victoria Education Innovation Award). He has also published a humorous travel memoir, Mörön to Mörön: Two men, two bikes, one Mongolian misadventure (2013).

Tom has a PhD in Literary Journalism and Disaster Studies from Monash University. He teaches creative writing at the University of Melbourne. He is currently working on a new book about people’s lived experiences of climate change in Australia and New Zealand.
