#25 When words fail us: Truth, listening and finding common ground

In an age of division, noise and rapid change, how do we find our way back to meaningful conversation?

Distinguished Professor Stan Grant delivered a powerful public lecture at Charles Sturt University' Bathurst campus exploring the limits of language in a fractured world.

Drawing on philosophy, history and lived experience, Stan reflects on the limits of language in a fractured world
- and the urgent need to reconnect through deeper forms of understanding.

At the heart of this conversation is Yindyamarra - a Wiradyuri philosophy grounded in respect, humility and deep listening. Through this lens, the event invites us to reconsider how we engage with one another, especially in moments where words fall short. 

This is more than a lecture. 

It is a call to pause, reflect and listen - to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us.
