Christian Austin came to Darwin in October 2017 to study for the MPhil in Criminological Research, having previously served more than a decade in prison. In his forthcoming memoir Resilient: From Childhood Adversity to Cambridge University Christian reflects on how he survived adverse childhood experiences, addiction and solitary confinement to gain a Masters degree at Cambridge. He will discuss the importance of reading and music in his journey and the insights he gained from Gabor Maté on addiction, and Patti Ashley and Cendie Stanford on childhood trauma.

“Christian sheds light in the darkness, showing that anyone can turn their life around – Patti Ashley, Psychotherapist, Trauma Recovery Specialist, and author of Shame-Informed Trauma.
