Jane Caro - How Many Dangerous Ideas Can One Person Have? (Festival of Dangerous Ideas)

Anyone who has written a book whose title refers to Australia as “The Stupid Country” is not afraid of the odd dangerous idea, and it turns out that Jane Caro has plenty. She is well-known as an advocate for public education, and as one of the instigators of ‘Destroy the joint’ on Twitter, taking a hatchet to sexism in Australia. But she doesn’t stop there, and will be bringing you dangerous ideas about atheism, schools, politics, men, women and advertising just for a start.Jane Caro is an Australian writer, lecturer, social commentator, and award-winning advertising writer—or, in her own words, a "feminist, atheist, media tart, wife, mother & stirrer." She is a regular panellist on The Gruen Transfer/Gruen Planet, and is the co-author of books such as The F Word: How we learned to swear by feminism and The Stupid Country: How Australia is Dismantling Public Education.
