13 November: Language and the Media
Phillip Adams AO
Phillip Adams’ radio programme Late Night Live is broadcast twice a day over the 250-station network of ABC’s Radio National and around the world on Radio Australia and the World Wide Web. Adams has interviewed over 15,000 of the world’s most prominent politicians, philosophers, economists, scientists, theologians, historians, archaeologists, novelists, and scholars. Writing in The Monthly, Robert Manne has said that Adams is: “The most remarkable broadcaster in the history of this country.” For almost 50 years his columns in major newspapers (he currently writes for The Australian newspaper) have provoked discussion and outrage. He is also the author of over 20 books. Honours awarded to Adams include two Orders of Australia, the Senior ANZAC Fellowship, Australian Humanist of the Year, Republican of the Year 2005, the Golden Lion at Cannes, the Longford Award (the highest award of the Australian film industry), a Walkley award, a UN Media prize, four Honorary Doctorates, and the Responsibility in Journalism Award at New York University. In 2006 he received the Human Rights Medal from the Australian Government’s Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission. In 2008 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
14 November: Language and Evolution
Professor Rob Brooks
Rob Brooks is Professor of Evolution and Director of the Evolution and Ecology Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. He is an Evolutionary Biologist who thinks about sex for a living. Topics he has thought and written about include the evolution of mate choice, the costs of being attractive, the reason animals age, and the links between sex, diet, obesity, and death. Together with his research group and collaborators, Rob explores the evolutionary and ecological consequences of sexual reproduction. At the moment he is especially interested in the interactions between evolution and economics, the evolution of human life histories, the reasons for sex differences in aging and longevity, the unfolding obesity crisis, the relationship between evolution and equity feminism, the evolution of human bodies, the purpose of Rock ‘n’ Roll, and what we can and cannot infer about morality from studying the natural world. His first book for a popular audience, Sex, Genes & Rock 'n' Roll: How Evolution has Shaped the Modern World (New South Books) was published in 2011.
