Links: My blog: imlearningmandarin.comClare's page: https://ahc.leeds.ac.uk/languages/staff/1258/prof-clare-wright--On today's episode, I interview a long-time member of the I'm Learning Mandarin community who also happens to be a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Leeds. Professor Clare Wright has pioneered research into second language pedagogy, with a particular focus on Mandarin. She is particularly interested in discovering why some learners on Mandarin courses seem to do so well at reaching communicative levels quickly while others lag behind. I first met Clare in 2018 when she interviewed me for her research into what motivates Mandarin learners to study the language. We've kept in touch ever since, and in this interview, we discussed what Mandarin learners and educators can learn from her research to improve their outcomes and reach their goals.
Historian, Professor Clare Wright tells the story of a formative moment — before the Mabo decision — in Australia's democracy that you may not have heard of.Historian Clare Wright moved her family to Yirrkala in North-East Arnhem land in 2010. She became a part of the Yolngu community and kept in touch after the family returned to Melbourne.Little by little, Clare learned about an extraordinary moment in Australian history, when Yolngu people used their artwork and their language, Yolngu Matha to petition the Federal government over a planned bauxite mine on their traditional lands.The bark petitions were not sent in the traditional sense, pleading up to an authority, but rather asserted Yolngu custodianship of the land, and spoke as equal partners to the Australian government.This episode of Conversations touches on Indigenous stories, Yolngu, Yirrkala, Australian democracy, the Bark Petitions, Naku Dharuk, Yolngu Matha, mining, the Australian Government, Menzies, Kim Beazley Snr.

Professor Clare Wright is the author of five works of history, including the best-selling The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka and You Daughters of Freedom, which comprise the first two instalments of her Democracy trilogy. On this episode of Read This, Clare sits down with Michael Williams to discuss the final instalment of the trilogy, Näku Dhäruk: The Bark Petitions, which was released in October.
Today on Archive Fever the tables are turned, and interviewer turns interviewee. Co-host Clare Wright jumps in the hot seat to tell Yves and producer Matt Smith about the research journey behind her latest book Näku Dhäruk: The Bark Petitions (Text, 2024)—the final work in her Democracy Trilogy, an award-winning series that uses the material heritage of Australian democracy to retell how the people acquired a voice. How to incorporate Yolngu ways of being and knowing into a linear historical narrative? What does it mean to practice truth telling a year on from the unsuccessful Voice referendum? Where did Clare uncover a long-lost fourth copy of the bark petition? And what does Joan Didion have to do with any of this?

Before British colonisation, there were more than 250 languages spoken on this continent. Less than half survive today, and most of them are under threat. In a live episode of their hit podcast, Archive Fever, historians Yves Rees and Clare Wright are joined by special guests Cheryl Leavy and Paul Girrawah House to discuss orality as archive: how language helps us know the past and why the work of language revitalisation – bringing languages back to life – is so vital to the future.
Coucou everyone! We are so happy to have our dear friend Clare Wright of the Sunday Scaries horror film club (@sundayscariesfilm) on the pod to talk all about giallo - the Italian horror film subgenre. Focusing on giallo films from the 1960s and '70s, Clare breaks down 3 major themes, each with a film and director to match. What we love about giallo films are their iconic use of color, fashion, and music - those Italians are so stylish! Thank you Clare for sharing your passion with us

How do you teach and talk about Australian history with kids? This is a bonus episode for teachers, carers and parents featuring Professor Anna Clark and Professor Clare Wright. Teaching and talking about history with kids can be rewarding and challenging. From their experience studying and teaching history, Clare and Anna tackle questions like: How can kids in primary school work with history's complexity? How can primary students consider the moral lessons of what they're learning? How do you encourage kids when they're interested in history but get some facts wrong? What's one crucial thing to get across to kids about history? Anna and Clare look at a concern about saying the wrong thing when talking about Australian history, and look at how to do Reconciliation while teaching or talking about history with kids? And you'll hear why asking questions is an important part of how you talk about history, and how to use primary sources and historical objects to connect kids with the history of our country.

Vida Goldstein was the first woman to campaign for elected office for a national parliament in the English speaking world. It was the election of 1903, Ms Goldstein ran for the Senate in the Australian parliament, and she lost! Her launch speech was at Portland in Victoria and podcast guest Prof Clare Wright read it aloud for the Sydney Writers Festival's 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen' event in 2022. In this episode, Clare talks about Vida Goldstein's speech, but also her place in the women's suffrage struggle of the 1880s and 90s. She explains quite brilliantly how that period of women's history unfolded, and how Australian women became leaders on the world stage helping other white women win their struggles in the UK and the USA. Vida was an invitee to the Roosevelt White House, and helped and inspired Emmeline Pankhurst. Clare also explains that the early suffragists did not help indigenous women win or in the case of South Australia, retain the vote. They were products of the White Australia' era they inhabited. The audio of the speech as read by Clare Wright is courtesy of the Sydney Writers Festival. You can purchase tickets to the 2023 festival here.

Strain the sauce through a fine sieve and return to the pan; gently reheat the cheeks in the sauce if necessary.6. Serve the cheeks and their sauce on warm plates with the cauliflower pureeon the side.

For the very first episode of the HBF podcast I'm joined by Clare Wright otherwise known as @sundayyscaries, horror style fashionista and curator of the Sunday Scaries film club. Claire's FFO was beauty, surreal and paranoia, so naturally it had to be Lynch; specifically his 2001 magnum opus Mulholland Drive. Join Clare and I as we ascend through the twisted darkness of the Hollywood hills, into a tale of jealousy, depression and the depths of the sleeping subconscious. Let us know what you think: WHY are these old people so small? WHO is the girl? And is there a canonical existence of a Lynch/Sex and the City Extended Universe?
Julia talks to historian Professor Clare Wright about the forgotten women from Australian history. They discuss how the women who won the vote in Australia influenced the rest of the world, the importance of increasing visibility of women's leadership in a country where there are more statues of animals than women, and why telling women's stories from history is crucial to achieving gender equality today.

Clare Wright, left, and Rebecca Traister, at the Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne — Photo: Emily Harms ‘The stories aren't simple. They're nuanced. And it's our job to insist on that nuance – and not let everything get turned into a t-shirt.' Rebecca Traister Rebecca Traister is an American journalist, polemicist and New York Times-bestselling author who writes at the intersection of feminism, politics and culture. Her latest book, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger, investigates the potential and complexity of women's anger as a political and social tool – both historically, and in the reinvigorated contemporary women's movement in the West. How have women's expressions of emotion been framed to delegitimise or condemn them? How can conflict and tension within and between factions of the women's movement make the broader collective stronger? Traister tracks the transformative force of female fury (and its suppression) through abolition, suffrage, temperance; through the labour and civil rights movements, and from now into the future. Are our perspectives on women's anger changing? How can women use their dissatisfaction to progress their rights? In April of 2019, Traister joined Clare Wright in conversation at the Athenaeum Theatre.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What do we know about queer lives and stories from the past? At this special live recording at the Wheeler Centre, hosts Clare Wright and Yves Rees are joined by historian Noah Riseman and trans scholar and activist Julie Peters to discuss the absence of queer people, especially trans and gender diverse people, from conventional records and historical data. Where else might we go to locate a trans or non-binary lineage? What records may LGBTIQA+ elders and predecessors have kept, and how we can recover and integrate queer figures and stories into our broader understanding of Australian history? Join us as we discuss how to set the record queer. Recorded live at the Wheeler Centre, Melbourne on 28 November 2019.
Clare Wright and William Dalrymple at the Athenaeum Theatre — Photo: Jon Tjhia Historian William Dalrymple believes the stunning greed and violence of the militarised East India Company is ‘history's most terrifying warning' about unregulated corporate power, and the insidious means by which shareholders exert dangerous influence on the state. Dalrymple – co-director of the Jaipur Literature Festival, and bestselling author of books including The Last Mughal, City of Djinns and Nine Lives – examines the corporation's ruinous legacy in his latest work, The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company. The Anarchy describes an aggressive colonial power operating under the guise of a multinational company, using a ruthless 200,000-strong private army to extort, plunder and dominate vast swathes of Central, South and Southeast Asia – answerable only to its distant investors. At a time when global media corporations and tech giants wield growing and increasingly pervasive power and influence, the story is a timely cautionary tale. At this event, William Dalrymple joins author Clare Wright to discuss the long reach and devastating legacy of the East India Company.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
