Demographer Bernard Salt to deliver 2015 Brookes Oration

Reflect on the changing nature of Australian lifestyles with Bernard Salt, Australia’s most respected demographer and trend-spotter, at this year’s Brookes Oration at Deakin Edge on Wednesday 23 September.

Deakin University is delighted to welcome Mr Salt, a sharp and insightful social commentator and engaging speaker, to one of the biggest events on the Deakin calendar.

A popular columnist with The Australian newspaper for over ten years and author of five best-selling books on social, cultural and generational change, Mr Salt brings statistics to life with a gentle wit.

This free event is a great opportunity to hear from the man who coined the now-ubiquitous terms ‘Sea Changers’, ‘Man Drought’, and ‘the Goat’s Cheese Curtain’.

About the Brookes Oration

The Brookes Oration honours the significant contribution of Sir Wilfred Brookes, grandson of Alfred Deakin, the second Prime Minister of Australia, after whom Deakin University is named.

The annual oration was established by the Deakin Graduate School of Business in 2006 to encourage thoughtful debate about the contribution of corporate Australia in the global community.
