We Don’t Do That Here… Do We? Christian Nationalism & Patriarchy in Australia

In this session Sam Sellers chats with Clare McIvor as they explore how Christian nationalism and patriarchy are shaping Australian churches and communities. This session will challenge the idea that these issues are just foreign problems, highlighting their impact on faith spaces, gender roles, and public life in Australia. Together, we’ll unpack these dynamics and spark important conversations about power, faith, and justice.

We acknowledge the Indigenous people of the lands we have recorded on. Our speakers and hosts are located on Aboriginal Country all across the lands now called Australia and Maori lands across Aoteoroa. We pay our respect to Indigenous elders who are custodians of these lands and extend that respect to any Indigenous people attending our event.
