Kaikōrero: Professor Yin Paradies
Ringa Hāpai: Grant Berghan
Dr. Yin Paradies is an Aboriginal-Asian-Anglo Australian of the Wakaya people from the Gulf of Carpentaria. He is Professor of Race Relations at Deakin University, where he conducts research on racism and anti-racism as well as teaching and researching Indigenous knowledges and decoloniality. Yin is an anarchist radical scholar and ecological activist who is committed to understanding and interrupting the devastating impacts of modern societies. He seeks meaningful mutuality of becoming and embodied kinship with all life through transformed ways of knowing, being and doing that are grounded in wisdom, humility, respect and generosity.

Yin discusses his article Unsettling truths: modernity, (de-)coloniality and Indigenous futures (2020) stating that the unsustainable devastations of contemporary culture have left only radical futures ahead of us. He suggests that we relinquish debt, property, institutions and nation states on a path towards decoloniality that includes land-based re-localisation, revitalised communalism and embodied kinship with all life. Necessitating an Indigenisation in which we collectively embrace fundamentally transformed relationships of mutuality to bring about flourishing egalitarian societies.
