Taxing Times Talks - Who contributes to the tax system - Elise Klein in conversation with Will Brehm

Elise Klein in conversation with Will Brehm.

This talk explores issues of taxation as redistribution and unpacks who actually contributes to the tax system. It looks at how some tax policies induce further marginalisation of certain groups while other policies reinforce settler colonial logics. Notions of care and unpaid labour are foregrounded to unsettle common understandings of contribution.

Dr Elise Klein (OAM) is an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Crawford School, ANU. Her research is situated in the intersections (and cracks) of development, social policy, de(coloniality) and care.

Dr. Will Brehm's research interrogates how comparative and international education intersects with international relations and the political economy of development. In his research, he has explored issues of educational privatization, regional identity making, community-based education, and the politics of knowledge production.

There will be a Q&A session following the presentation, then light refreshments.
