SEMINAR: IHS seminar: Multiculturalism

“What we need is a great big melting pot.”

Australia has boosted its population through immigration, and Australians are peaceful, tolerant people. Has multiculturalism succeeded here, or are there new stresses and considerations?

Chair Prof Dennis Haskell introduces Suresh Rajan, President of the Ethnic Communities Council of WA, who will give an overview of multiculturalism in Western Australia; Maria Grade Godinho, who will speak about her personal experience of being a migrant to Australia; and Dr Daniel Stepniak, who will speak about legal issues around cultural diversity. Audience discussion is invited after the presentations. All are welcome; there is no charge to attend.
