While some critics believe that plays like Othello and The Merchant of Venice are inherently racist, others argue that they simply portray, perhaps even criticise, the racist attitudes of the time.Wherefore, Shakespeare? is a series that explores the dilemmas, conflicts, and controversies in Shakespeare's major plays.In our fourth instalment, we interrogate Shakespeare's portrayal of race. We also explore the surprising racial dimensions of one of Shakespeare's final plays: The Tempest.

The Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the referendum was a moment of disagreement that doesn't define us.  But what's the lasting impact of it? And what does the resounding No vote say about Australia and our democracy?  Today, the hosts of The Voice Referendum Explained podcast, Fran Kelly on Gadigal land in Sydney and Carly Williams from Minjerribah North Stradbroke Island, on the failed referendum and what happens next. Featured:  Fran Kelly, ABC presenter Carly Williams, ABC national Indigenous correspondent

It was the referendum Anthony Albanese promised to hold at the last election, but pretty much all the opinion polls suggest that when Australians cast their votes, it will be a resounding “No” to an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.  The Voice would act as an independent advisory body to the government for First Nations people, but the proposed change to the Constitution has led to a divisive and heated debate.  Today, ABC reporter Isabella Higgins on why Yes campaigners still see a glimmer of hope and what to expect when you wake up the morning after the vote.   Featured:  Isabella Higgins, ABC reporter

Black Lives Matter sparked a ‘media reckoning' in other countries but what happened in Australia?In the final episode of the 6-part Blak Bias podcast series, co-hosts Rhianna Patrick and Madeline Hayman-Reber discuss the treatment of Indigenous journalists who broke their silence on their experience inside mainstream media organisations.

How has the Australian media represented Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities?Blak Bias is an in-depth look at Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the news – everything from the COVID-19 pandemic to land rights to the Cleo Smith case.Racist stereotypes, deficit narratives, and unethical practices are still everywhere in mainstream media – this podcast explores how and why these patterns keep repeating. Hosted by Indigenous journalists Rhianna Patrick and Madeline Hayman-Reber, the six-part series exposes how bringing Indigenous perspectives to the newsroom is often misunderstood as bias – rather than expertise. Based on research by Professor Heidi Norman, Archie Thomas and the team at the Centre for the Advancement of Indigenous Knowledges (CAIK) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Blak Bias takes you deep into the news to understand–and challenge–the colonial narratives of Australian mainstream media.

This edition is the first part of the 6-part Blak Bias podcast series. From keeping students connected to their schooling during the pandemic to helping coordinate clean up efforts after floods, Indigenous media does more than just report on what's happening. The Guardian Australia's Indigenous Affairs editor, Lorena Allam, explains the work of Indigenous media during times of crisis. She explains how The Guardian's approach to reporting the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indigenous communities in western New South Wales put the government on notice about vaccination rates. But at the same time, mainstream news too often fell into victim-blaming.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University Technology Sydney (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

For a long time, Indigenous stories were mostly reported by non-Indigenous journalists. But that seems to be changing.A growing cohort of Indigenous journalists and the rise of the Indigenous digital content creators are making waves across both mainstream and Indigenous media. Lachlan Skinner, founder of the first Indigenous internet radio station, One Mob Radio on Gumbaynggirr country, and James Saunders, former Chief Operating Officer of IndigenousX.com.au discuss the changing Indigenous media landscape, and the new platforms and initiatives shaking things up.*Please note, at the time of recording James Saunders was the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of IndigenousX.com.au but he is now the former COO.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University of Technology Sydney, (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

When should the race of someone be identified in a news story and when shouldn't it?If Indigeneity is excluded from a news story it can obscure racism–but if it's featured, it can encourage racism and further add to media stereotyping of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. CEO of Ngaarda Media, Tangiora Hinaki, shares how racial stereotyping played out in the recent case of the abduction of 4 year old Cleo Smith, and how Indigenous media uncovered the wrongful identification of her alleged kidnapper. Hear about the long history of media reporting on race with Andrew Jakubowicz, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at UTS.Warning: The following episode briefly discusses the reportage of child sexual abuse so if this is likely to raise anything for you, please give 13 YARN (13- 92-76), the national 24/7 Indigenous crisis line a call or Lifeline on 13 11 14.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

How much do mainstream journalists understand the nuances of land rights, native title, and Indigenous land ownership?From the birth of the land rights movement to the introduction of native title laws, mainstream media has often struggled to report accurately on issues of Indigenous land ownership. Professor Heidi Norman discusses how this reportage has impacted on the aspirations and self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders while Dr Valerie Cooms, Chairwoman of the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation gives you the community perspective on what it's like to be on the other side of those stories.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

There's a fine line between race and racism when dissecting the Australian mainstream media and its reportage of Indigenous Affairs.Over the last decade, conservative columnists and reporters in conservative legacy media have generated public debate over the validity of the Racial Discrimination Act. At the same time, Indigenous communities have accused the same media of covert and overt racism in reporting. TV presenter, journalist, and Whadjuk Noongar woman Narelda Jacobs explores coverage of the death in custody of Kumanjayi Walker and the resulting trial. While Professor Heidi Norman from UTS discusses the coverage of the Cindy Prior case, which became subject to a nationwide debate around racial discrimination.Warning: The following episode discusses the reportage of Aboriginal Deaths in Custody so if this is likely to raise anything for you, please give 13 YARN (13- 92-76), the national 24/7 Indigenous crisis line a call.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

Indigenous health care workers are sounding the alarm over National Cabinet's decision to loosen COVID-19 restrictions, despite there being over 110 000 active cases around the country. State and Territory leaders - and the federal government - have moved to reclassify 'close contacts' as someone who spends more than four hours in a household or household-like setting, with a positive case.

Starting in 2019, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander advocates began an ambitious two year effort to flip the script on sovereignty, self-determination and justice for First Nations. Now, after comprehensive communications training and robust messaging research, campaigners are making new gains on land rights and tackling damage to the climate.Learn more about the show at WordsToWinBy-Pod.comFollow Anat on TwitterFollow Wonder Media NetworkWebsiteInstagramTwitter

In this special Taking care episode, we bring you an important conversation about the meaning of January 26 as Ahpra and the National Boards strive to embed cultural safety in the health system.We recognise that 26 January is not a date for celebration for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Many consider it a day of mourning, referring to it as Invasion Day, or Survival Day. It is a date that marks the beginning of deliberate, systemic and catastrophic racism and violence against Indigenous Peoples. For others, it is also a day to mark the survival of ongoing traditions and cultures.To deepen this conversation and re-educate ourselves as we strive for cultural safety in healthcare, Aphra hosted a conversation between three leaders working to bring equity to the system. In this special episode, join Ahpra Chief Executive Martin Fletcher as he discusses the significance of the day with Aboriginal GP and Associate Professor at the School of Medicine at Griffith University, Shannon Springer, Chair of the Podiatry Board, Cylie Williams and Co-CEO PricewaterhouseCoopers Indigenous Consulting, Ms Jodie Sizer.You can also listen to other episodes of Taking Care and subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and by searching ‘Taking Care’ in your podcast player.
