The Centre for Ethics was established in 2024 with the aim of delivering an ambitious program of events for students and the wider Southern Highlands community. We host distinguished thinkers and leaders from diverse fields – philanthropy, academia, NGOs, and industry – creating opportunities for dialogue that challenge assumptions and inspire action has never been more urgent. Accelerating climate change, the rise of artificial intelligence, renewed nuclear tensions, democratic fragility, and growing distrust of science are among the defining challenges of our time – issues that demand thoughtful, principled responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a writer who places being human at the centre of her work, Anna Funder (Wifedom<\/em>, Stasiland<\/em>) has explored the best and worst that humans are capable of \u2013 surveillance, fascism and the tyranny of patriarchy \u2013 and the many forms of human courage and resistance. As artificial intelligence accelerates and patriarchy takes the gloves off, the world of bots and tech bros sees humans as raw material \u2013 free data they can profit from \u2013 in the same way that men have profited from women\u2019s work for so long. How can we resist this exploitation of our humanity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna Funder\u2019s internationally bestselling Stasiland<\/em> and All That I Am<\/em> illuminate the human condition in times of tyranny through true stories of courage, conscience and love. Stasiland<\/em> won the UK\u2019s prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize. All That I Am<\/em> won the Miles Franklin and was a finalist for the International IMPAC Dublin Award and the Commonwealth Writers Prize. Wifedom: Mrs Orwell\u2019s Invisible Life<\/em>, hailed as a \u2018masterpiece\u2019 and a \u2018spellbinding achievement\u2019, was a New York Times<\/em> Notable Book and awarded France\u2019s prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre \u00c9tranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
