Bruce Pascoe will be at the Toowoomba City Library Community Rooms on Wednesday 14 October 2026 to discuss, The European Mind, which is described as a global examination of Western power informed by a First Nations perspective.

Framed by a First Nations philosophy, The European Mind challenges what we think we know about ‘history’ and picks apart beliefs and truths that sit at the heart of our society. Pascoe proposes meaningful change through shifts in cultural and moral thought, the rebalancing of relationships, demolishing the myth of superiority and a rethinking of capitalism as the only system. The European Mind critiques the ideas behind empire and takes readers on a journey of how we arrived here and where we hope to be.

Bruce Pascoe is an Aboriginal farmer and writer of literary fiction, non-fiction, poetry, essays and children’s literature, based on Yuin Country. His publications have won numerous awards including the NSW Premier’s Award for Literature, the Booksellers Association Prize and the CBCA Eve Pownall award.

This event will be in the community meeting rooms on Level 3 of the Toowooba City Library building.

Light refreshments will be served.
