Futurity and fertility in transgender people’s lives

11.30am - 12.20pm | Sunday 15 July

The impact of medical treatment upon transgender people’s fertility has received increased attention. At the heart of the topic of fertility preservation lies the question of futurity. This talk explores how transgender people negotiate decisions about fertility, focusing specifically on resistance to, and engagement with, pronatalist discourse.

Book Launch: What matters? Talking value in Australian culture

11:30am | Sunday 15 July

The time is ripe to find a better way to value our culture – by finding a better way to talk about it. This book intervenes in an important debate about the public value of culture that has become stranded between the hard heads (where the arts are just another industry) and the soft hearts (for whom they are too precious to bear dispassionate analysis).

Workshop,

Strategy and power – GetUp!

11.30am - 1.30pm | Sunday 15 July

Achieving change on the issues we care about doesn’t happen by accident. It takes planning and strategic decision making so that when we act together, we have the greatest possible impact.
