A fusion of ideals and ideas will be the order of the day as academics, researchers, journalists, lawyers and cultural artists come together for a round table discussion on issues of assimilation, migration, multiculturalism, values and spirituality.

Chutney is used as a metaphor for the blending of identities of the twice displaced migrant Fiji-Indians in Australia. The forum will provide a platform for an enriching exchange of enlightening views on topics that are the focus of political debate and social unrest.

The forum will be chaired by Wendy Monaghan, editor of Australian Mosaic.

Speakers:

* Professor Brij Lal, Australian National University.
* Professor Bob Hodge, Centre for Cultural Research, University of Western Sydney.
* Dr Elaine Lally, Centre for Cultural Research, University of Western Sydney.
* Avi Kumar, Fiji-Indian Lawyer
* Asha Chand, Fiji- Indian Journalist and Academic, University of Western Sydney.
