Over the extended holiday break we're looking back over some of the more fascinating conversations featured in this series with two student story highlights in each episode. These bite sized snapshots are a bit like your favourite holiday photos – a reminder of a memorable moment and a chance to revisit that experience again. If you missed these conversations the first time around then it’s a great opportunity to get a taste of those stories and perhaps inspire you to dig a little deeper by going back to the original show. Our first summer snap is a celebration of the identity of human nature – biological, personal and cultural. The first part features Neil Josen, a brilliant young man who is studying Biomedical Science at Bond University with the aim of becoming a neuropsychologist. When Neil sat down to tell his story he had just celebrated his 21st birthday, yet he displayed a wisdom and maturity far beyond his years that was truly astounding. Emmanuelle Bryant is another student who has some very clearly defined ideas about the characteristics about who we are, but from an artistic sense. With her parents from the Caribbean and The Congo, French born Emmanuelle identifies as a third culture kid – someone who grew up in a foreign environment who says that being different was just part of who she was. With a strong sense of social justice, Emmanuelle enrolled in Screen and Media at TAFE on the Gold Coast to become a film maker so that she could create essential human stories about love, identity and culture.
