Here is the
video of my Anti-Inaugural Lecture, on 5 September in the Great Hall at the
University of Sydney. About 450 people
came to this event, which was also attended by a statue of William Charles
Wentworth (a founder) and oil-paintings of many Chancellors. You will see most of the living participants
in the recording on YouTube (LINK HERE) or Vimeo (HERE), or watch below.
The video was
splendidly produced, recorded and edited by Fabio Cavadini and Amanda
King. My thanks also to: Rebecca Pearse
for guidance and materials; Sue Goodwin and Michael Thomson for introducing and
chairing the proceedings; the Faculty of Education & Social Work, and
Sydney Ideas, for organizing the event; Fran Waugh, Meredith Hall and Jane Harvey for the idea, and making it happen; and Kylie Benton-Connell for the
memorable conclusion.
Some of the
pictures shown in the lecture have been included in the video; unfortunately
others could not be included, for copyright reasons. The video runs for about 1 hour 10
minutes. To keep it to this length, the
period of questions and answers has been omitted.
