The seminar is anchored in The Chosen Son, Professor Leanne Weber’s deeply moving account of the forced removal of her Aboriginal foster brother, Len, in the late 1950s and his subsequent placement in her Adelaide family.

Building from this intimate narrative, the discussion will provide a timely platform to critically examine how contemporary laws, policies, and practices, both at State and Federal levels, continue to shape the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The event is supported by a Social Sciences Week Spark Grant from the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, and by a grant for Local Event by the ANZ Society of Criminology.

Guest speakers:

Professor Leanne Weber is the 2024 ANZ Society of Criminology Distinguished Criminologist awardee. Currently an Adjunct Professor at the Canberra Law School, Prof Weber has published 11 academic books on policing, human rights and border control and has twice been awarded the Christine M Alder Book Prize by the ANZ Society of Criminology.

Mrs Michelle Gissara is a proud Kardu Diminin/Kardu Yek Neninh woman currently based at RMIT University as an Indigenous Doctoral Research Fellow, with a background in criminology and psychology. Her PhD research explores Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women and gender-diverse peoples’ lived experiences of image-based sexual abuse. Additionally, Michelle is one of the Indigenous representatives on the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology’s Committee of Management. Outside of her fellowship, Michelle works in mental health and social and emotional wellbeing within the Black Dog Institute, volunteers in aged care, is a competitive all-star cheerleader, and creates art.
