Sydney Ideas - Conversations for Good: Across platforms

Can we agree on a shared reality without it collapsing into political theatre?

Hear from digital platforms researcher Joanne Gray, and one of Australia’s foremost social trends researchers, Rebecca Huntley. Hosted by Fenella Kernebone, cultural curator, speaker and presenter.

This conversation is about how we got to this point in the state of public discourse and social cohesion today. Is big tech skewing our views and undoing our capacity for tolerance? What actually divides Australians and more importantly, what brings us closer? How do we create – and regulate – spaces for dialogue that encourage open exchange, not outrage; that expand our worldview, not retreat into echo chambers? 

Presented by Sydney Ideas as part of our Conversations for Good series. You might also be interested in the next event 'Conversations for Good: Across political philosophies' on Thursday 16 July.
