Dr. Pearl Panickar: (Standpoint): Settler colonialism and amends-making; I am an Australian-Indian, born in Singapore and now living in Adelaide, South Australia on the land of the Kaurna people. I first became involved with the struggle of Aboriginal people in Australia when I worked with the art and artists from the Eastern Arrernte community in Central Australia in the 1990’s. Since then, I have listened to their stories of colonization and disenfranchisement. I continue to be inspired by the wisdom and natural intelligence of First Nations peoples. I have committed to learn about the responsibility of settlers and contribute to talk and thought at university which promote anti-colonial and decolonising ways of being. I am a lecturer in Business and a member of the committee to promote National Reconciliation Week at Adelaide University.
