In part two of “A Pride Open Road”, Monash University’s student delegation lands in Sydney for WorldPride23 at the largest-ever LGBTIQA+ human rights conference held in the southern hemisphere.

Join the students as they attend the conference and engage with inspiring thought leaders, change-makers, and grassroots activists. You’ll also hear excerpts from Professor Paula Gerber’s fascinating panel discussion with former Chief Justice Michael Kirby.

This episode’s guests also include Monash University Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Senior Vice President (Education) Professor Sharon Pickering, who explains the importance of Monash’s sponsorship of the students, enabling them to see examples of effective advocacy from around the world.
