Jack Brady is an anthropologist and political scientist (and occasional variety artist).

Jack is committed to practical ways human beings can contribute to cultural democracy. But what does that mean, exactly?

Cultural democracy means that everyone’s story is important. It’s about how to fund government programs to include more story telling through the arts, but most importantly, more truth-telling in meaningful ways. It’s also about encouraging corporations and non for profits to take up that mantle too, without ‘washing’ or ‘co-opting’ a communities messages and key values.

It’s not about what is popular or trending, it’s about representation. A little bit about Jack. *Jack is not currently taking on clients, but you can always ask. They are currently working on finalising a PhD and a book project.

Jack used to consult on matters across community development (violence prevention, disability, mental health and LGBTQIA+, community arts, employment workforce development), governance, program development and monitoring and evaluation (click here to enquire about 2026/2027 bookings for community-engaged research projects only).

Now they are dedicating themselves to research, teaching and learning. They may still be available to consult occasionally, but on select projects linked to cultural democracy and representation only.
