Introducing our speakers
Judith Brine
Judith came to South Australia in 1972 and was appointed as an academic in architecture and has, in some sort, remained an academic ever since; at the same time, participating in government advisory work largely in the fields of heritage and planning to Federal, South Australian and ACT Governments. Other areas of contribution included periods on the Board of the ACT Electricity and Water Commission, the SA Environment and Development Court and the Adelaide City Council.
Lin Hatfield Dodds
Lin is the National Director of UnitingCare Australia, and one of Australia’s leading social justice advocates. A recognised expert on social policy and community services, she has served on a wide range of boards and government advisory bodies, and is a frequent media commentator and conference speaker.
Lin’s background includes working as a counselling psychologist and as a public policy advisor on health and community services within federal and state governments.
Susan Phillips
Susan is a founding partner of Phillips/Pilkington Architects and has led many of the practice’s award-winning buildings, including a wide range of community and cultural projects. She has extensive community engagement experience and has taken on many advisory and advocacy roles, making a huge contribution to the profession and the city throughout her career. Susan is a strong advocate for women in architecture, and is a mentor for many. She was awarded the 2013 Sir James Irwin AIA (SA Chapter) President’s Medal with partner Michael Pilkington.
Angelique Edmonds
Angelique has a passion for design education and creating resilient communities engaged in the decisions which impact upon their everyday lives. She is the founder and Creative Director of the School for Creating Change and a Senior Lecturer in Architecture & Sustainable Design at the University of South Australia.
As a former board member of SA Council for the Care of Children and Engagement Leader of 5000+, an Integrated Design Strategy for inner Adelaide, in 2012 she led a collaborative forum of 400 South Australians considering child- and youth-friendly approaches to city-making in SA.
She has worked with Indigenous communities in Arnhem Land and established design advocacy projects with CALD women in Sydney’s South West and with youth at risk of homelessness in South Australia.
