While the ‘economic management debate’ rumbles along its predictable partisan grooves, something interesting has been taking place elsewhere – something of a concatenation of the better legacies of the communitarianism of the 90s and a shift in values which has gained traction with the Global Financial Crisis. There has been increasing talk of the creation of social value and social creativity, and the harnessing of community connectivity through social enterprise.
In her post-political career, Cheryl Kernot has been actively working in these fields, and analysing them within academia. The latest edition of Griffith REVIEW, Participation Society, addresses many of these questions, and Kernot will be talking at the State Library of Queensland on Wednesday night at 6.30pm on ‘A Participation Society’, riffing off some of the themes of her GR essay. Details of how to book tix and rsvp are on BrisCulture’s Facebook group.
