2025 Sydney Health Ethics Miles Little Lecture
Dr Bryan Mukandi
The Past, Present: How we got this chaos, and what we do about it
Wednesday June 11 2025 | 2-4pm

Sydney Health Ethics<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/8kWLCZY1NqiQxP2jMszfGfBWpXB?domain=t.e2ma.net> are pleased to present the 2025 Miles Little Lecture delivered by Dr Bryan Mukandi<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/qBzzC1WLPxcqOn5ZpIGhgfVeb1y?domain=t.e2ma.net>.
Mia Amor Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, opened her address at the 9th Summit of the Americas with a quotation from Bob Marley’s ‘So Much Trouble in the World’. At that time, Mottley counted three global crises: the climate crisis; the COVID pandemic; and rising inflation of food, fertiliser and fuel prices. That was three years ago. The crises have since compounded and we stand today at the edge of a terrifying precipice. Yet instead of looking forward or attempting to peer into the abyss before us, I’m going to argue that we turn to and reckon with the past. Drawing on a chorus of visual artists, writers and philosophers, I will further argue that collective study of the past is our best hope to bring about the ‘education of feeling’ that George Lamming thought essential for human liberation.

Dr Mukandi’s lecture will be followed by a panel discussion, with formal proceedings ending by 4pm. The event will be followed by networking with canapes and drinks available from 4-5pm

Bryan studied medicine at the University of Zimbabwe and interned at the United Bulawayo Hospitals before emigrating to Ireland, where he studied the social sciences and philosophy. Since moving to Australia more than a decade ago, his academic appointments have been in Health Policy and Systems Research, Medical Ethics, and Philosophy. The bulk of his work today falls into three categories: Metaphilosophy; Philosophies of the Global South; and the Health Humanities. It is united by a concern for the wellbeing of the marginalised.
