The forum will unpack what national insights can tell us, what they might miss, and how Tasmania’s unique communities, geography, and culture shape reading habits. Together, we’ll look at practical ways to encourage reading for pleasure and strengthen a vibrant, inclusive reading culture across Tasmania.Sinsa Mansell Trawoolaway woman from larapuna the Northern region of lutruwita TasmaniaDr Demelza Hall Libraries Tasmania, UTas Adjunct Research FellowAnna Burkey Head of Reading AustraliaLeanne McLean UTas, Director of the Peter Underwood Centre/Head of School of EducationAimen Jafri Multicultural Council of TasmaniaKathryn Woods UTas, PhD student, School of HumanitiesAssoc.
