'Journalist, author and political commentator George Megalogenis has made a unique contribution to Australian conversations  about migration, politics and our shared potential.  He first met Nuasha Cica — the guest co-editor of The European Exchange in 2003. She heard George speaking on ABC radio in Melbourne about his newly published first book Fault Lines: Race. Work, and the Politics of Changing Australia (Scribe), and interviewed him for a story about Australia's race politics for the South China Morning Post. Since then, the two have kept talking on this topic. They caught up for another instalment over lunch at this year's Adelaide Writers' Week in March. This edited transcript of their discussion explores Megalogenis' latest thinking about blow contemporary Australia has been shaped by the experiences of European migration.' (Introduction)

1 Signing Up to the Social Contract : Adrian Piper and the Art of Inclusion Natasha Cica , 2020 single work autobiography
— Appears in: Griffith Review , February no. 67 2020; (p. 23-29)
1 6 y separately published work icon Pedder Dreaming : Olegas Truchanas and a Lost Tasmanian Wilderness Natasha Cica , St Lucia : University of Queensland Press , 2011 Z1810303 2011 single work biography

'In 1972 Lake Pedder in Tasmania's untamed south-west was flooded to build a dam. Wilderness photographer Olegas Truchanas, who had spent years campaigning passionately to save the magnificent fresh water lake, had finally lost. The campaign, the first of its kind in Australia, paved the way for later conservation successes, and turned Truchanas into a Tasmanian legend.

Pedder Dreaming quietly evokes the man, the time and the place. Truchanas, a Lithuanian émigré, is a stalwart adventurer, loving family man, activist, thinker, survivor and artist. Australia on the cusp of environmental awareness is the time, and Lake Pedder and the south-west of Tasmania, the place - wild, pristine, wondrous.

Through those who were closest to him, Truchanas emerges, as does his influence on early conservation in Tasmania, and the small group of landscape artists, the Sunday Group, who admired his passion for the lake and were inspired by it. Stunningly illustrated with original Truchanas photographs from the 1950s, '60s and '70s, and artwork from the Sunday Group, Pedder Dreaming captures the brutality, raw beauty and vulnerability of the Tasmanian wilderness and the legacy of one man who had the vision to fight for it.'
