This upcoming Institute of Social Justice (ISJ) event will see ISJ researchers and invited academics and intellectuals from around the world gather in North Sydney, creating an opportunity for dialogue, mutual learning and critical engagement.
Held from 16 May to 1 June, the program features a number of key events including an international symposium, masterclasses, public lectures and, for the first time, a postgraduate student conference organized by students in ISJ’s Doctoral Program for Social and Political Thought.
