Randa Abdel-Fattah and Louise Adler on the cost of speaking out in a time of division
Louise Adler, former Adelaide Writers' Week director and long‑time publisher, and Randa Abdel‑Fattah, Palestinian Australian novelist, academic and lawyer, discuss Discipline.

Conversation covers research origins, media and university responses since October 2023, social media mischaracterisation, and pressures on racialised professionals.
