About The Event
Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah was disinvited from the 2026 Adelaide Writers’ Week after writing a novel about censorship. Randa will join us at The Trouble Club to discuss the novel that sparked international controversy and why we must all remain vigilant.
As Israel’s bombardment of Gaza intensifies, a teenage student is arrested for protesting a university’s ties to an Israeli arms manufacturer. Both Hannah and Ashraf are pulled into the unfolding drama – but in very different ways. While Hannah fights to tell the true story, risking her place in the newsroom, Ashraf chooses caution, prioritising his reputation as the stakes rise around him.
In her blistering debut adult novel, Discipline, award-winning writer, academic and former lawyer Randa Abdel-Fattah takes us inside two institutions that help shape how we understand the world: the media and academia.
When does staying silent become a choice?
