Institute for Culture and Society Hosts Australian Screen Industries Roundtable

On 8 February, the Institute for Culture and Society, with the School of Business and the University of South Australia’s School of Creative Industries, hosted a roundtable to discuss opportunities and barriers within the Australian screen industry.

The roundtable brought together representatives from a range of screen industry organisations in New South Wales and South Australia to consider emergent work and labour issues such as harassment, inequality and diversity, the impact of contractual and precarious work on the sector, and how researchers and organisations might collaborate to address these.

It featured presentations by Professor Susan Luckman, Dr Sheree Gregory, Associate Professor Meg Smith and Professor Ien Ang. The researchers are working on developing an ongoing research collaboration motivated by a shared desire that Australia’s screen industries be world leading in their embrace of best practice.

The Institute for Culture and Society is located in Parramatta, “the place where the eel sets down” in Dharug language,
along the north bank of the Parramatta River. It sits on the traditional lands and waters of the Burramattagal people of the Dharug Nation,
who have been stewards and caretakers of these territories since time immemorial, in what today is referred to as Greater Western Sydney,
one of the most diverse cultural communities in the world and home to the largest number of Indigenous Australians in the country.
The Institute for Culture and Society acknowledges the Dharug, Eora, Dharawal (also referred to as Tharawal)
and Wiradjuri peoples as traditional custodians and Indigenous knowledge-holders, whose storytelling serve
as historical record, a form of teaching and learning, a way to care for Country,
and an expression of Indigenous culture and identity.
