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.

This is the final chapter in Clare's best-selling Democracy Trilogy, and follows the land rights movement led by Australia's first people.This was quite a wide ranging and important conversation as we discussed this country's history and how the teaching of history has changed so dramatically in the last 10 years in particular to ensure that we 'recover the lost and forgotten pages of Australian history'.Follow the link in my bio and head to the podcast for a listen....Clare's books can be found here:https://www.clarewright.com.au/authorHer publisher is Text PublishingVisit instagram @reallyinterestingwomen for further interviews and posts of interesting women in history.

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

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.  Clare's books include the Stella Award winning The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka and You Daughters of Freedom.  Join Speakola newsletter here.

Movida's Beef Cheeks Slowly Braised with Pedro Ximenez and Cauliflower Puree Ingredients:· 1.5 kg Beef Cheeks· 125 ml (½ cup) olive oil· 3 carrots, roughly chopped· 1 garlic bulb, halved· 1 brown onion, sliced· 500 ml (2 cups) Pedro Ximenez sherry· 500 ml (2 cups) red wine· 3 bay leaves· 3 tablespoons thyme leaves· 1 teaspoon fine sea salt· 1 head of cauliflower, broken into florets· 185 ml (¾ cup) cream· 40g butter Method:1. Trim the beef cheeks to neaten them up and remove any sinew and silver skin. Season well. Pre heat oven to 150º.2. Heat half the olive oil in a large heavy-based, oven proof casserole dish over high heat. Brown the beef cheeks for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden, then remove from the pan.Add the remaining olive oil, then add the carrot, garlic and onion and sauté over high heat for 12-15 minutes, or until well browned. Stir in the sherry, wine, bay leaves, thyme, sea salt and 500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) water.3. Add the beef cheeks back into the dish, cover and cook in the oven for 4-6 hours, or until the cheeks are beginning to fall apart.4. Meanwhile, put the cauliflower, cream and butter in a saucepan, season to taste with salt, then cover and cook over low heat for 35 minutes, or until very tender. Place the cauliflower mixture in a blender and process until smooth. Keep the puree warm.5. The sauce from the beef cheeks should by now be reduced and glaze-like. If it needs further reducing, remove the cheeks from the pan, cover with foil to keep them warm and simmer the sauce over high heat until nicely reduced. 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.

We spend about 10,000 days of our lives working. Over half of the world population, over 3.3 billion people, is currently in paid employment. But what we do for a salary, how we do it and crucially where we do it is facing the biggest upheaval in a century. Guests include Professor Herminia Ibarra of the London Business School, the Prix Pictet nominated photographer, Saskia Groneberg, and architect of the new Lambeth Palace Library, Clare Wright. View the accompanying e-book to this episode on our Instagram @Prix_Pictet. 

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.
