$One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This Watch Omar El Akkad discuss his searing work, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This with host Tasneem Chopra. Originally presented on Wednesday 22 October 2025 by The Wheeler Centre Sparked by his viral tweet during the bombardment of Gaza – viewed over 10 million times – Omar El Akkad’s One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This lays bare the fractures he has seen in the West’s empty promises of freedom and justice. In this timely session, the Egyptian-Canadian novelist and journalist reflects on how events like the Black Lives Matter protests, the escalating climate crisis and the violence in the Middle East have reshaped his understanding of migration, power and inequality and forced him to confront what it means to live in a West that has betrayed its fundamental values. Praised by Richard Flanagan as ‘a howl from the heart of our age’, El Akkad’s book explores exactly how the West has failed and offers hope for a way forward. 🔔 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 https://www.youtube.com/@WheelerCentre 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 The Wheeler Centre is where writers, storytellers, thinkers and readers connect through live events, insightful conversations and compelling stories in Melbourne.

George Megalogenis: The New Shape of Australian Politics

$Jason Stanley on Fascism Watch Jason Stanley, a leading expert on fascism, as he examines how authoritarian regimes manipulate history and civil liberties. With host Sarah Schwartz. Originally presented on Thursday 2 October 2025 by The Wheeler Centre, in partnership with RMIT. Legal residents sent to foreign prisons without due process. Students detained after voicing their opinions. Federal judges threatened with impeachment for ruling against government priorities. All this and more prompted Jason Stanley, bestselling author of How Fascism Works, to relocate from the United States to Canada earlier this year in protest of the Trump administration’s attacks on civil liberties. At this special event, Stanley took the stage in Melbourne and discussed the global crisis of authoritarianism, and how the politics of history is being weaponised to erode critical inquiry, fracture pluralism and lay the groundwork for totalitarianism, even – and most troublingly – in celebrated strongholds of democracy. Drawing on extensive case studies and philosophical insight, Stanley joined Sarah Schwartz to lift the curtain on the tactics employed time and again by those seeking absolute power – and how the people can safeguard the future of democratic freedom. 🔔 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 https://www.youtube.com/@WheelerCentre 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 The Wheeler Centre is where writers, storytellers, thinkers and readers connect through live events, insightful conversations and compelling stories in Melbourne.
