Symposium on 'Gender, Politics and Biography'

The National Centre of Biography, in association with the Research School of Social Sciences ANU, and the Museum of Australian Democracy, is organising a symposium on ‘Gender, Politics and Biography’ to be held on Monday 9 November, 10.30 am to 4.30 pm, at Old Parliament House in Canberra.

A range of speakers, including academics, politicians, journalists, biographers and museum curators, will discuss how the issue of gender and politics has changed over time.

Political journalist, Laurie Oakes, will present a lunch-time address on ‘The Personal & the Political: The Role of Personal Revelation in Australian Politics’ in the Members Dining Room, where a delicious two-course meal will be provided by the award-winning caterers, Ginger Catering. 

There is no charge for attending the symposium, but lunch will cost $59 per person.

Those interested in attending the symposium should contact us at ncb@anu.edu.au. The program and registration details will be posted on the NCB’s website when they are finalised.
