Event Information

Join us for an intimate conversation with Sabia Rasool, author and winner of the 2025 international Human Rights Essay Prize, as she presents her award-winning essay “The Blind Side”. Guiding the conversation is Kim Huynh, ANU academic, author and broadcaster, as we learn from Sabia's experience of living in fear, oppression and political censorship and her bravery to continue to choose to sing and share truthfully.

Sabia Rasool is a writer, editor, and researcher from Kashmir. Her work explores the intersections of memory, visibility, and state violence, often through personal narrative, oral histories, and cultural critique. She is interested in how people resist erasure through music, language, and everyday joy. Sabia has worked across creative media and is currently focused on curating interdisciplinary narratives from Kashmir. She believes storytelling can be both an archive and an act of refusal.

Advice

The following format can used to build up a point towards a Campus Knowing KNOT:

at least three hours spent attending public lectures, faculty talks, special events or other activity that involves academics or other recognised thought leaders on ANU campus
the time may be accumulated at one event, or spread over several events, during the time you are enrolled in the course
the topic must relate to SoCIETIE values

Note that a Campus Knowing KNOT may be made up of multiple events, with an expectation that attendance totals approximately three hours per point. A maximum of 2 points on a Campus Knowing KNOT can be claimed per semester.

Completion

The default completion task for a Campus Knowing KNOT is a 200-word reflection. As a starting point, we encourage you to base the reflection on "a question that you asked at the event (or would have asked if there was time)". We would love to see a photo of you at the event or social media post with the reflection.
