In the lecture, Justice Kirby will explore the crucial role universities have to play in supporting research to end homophobia in addition to all forms of LGBTIQ phobia.

Following the lecture, a panel of Curtin LGBTIQ researchers will showcase their current research projects, which will be followed by a discussion with Justice Kirby.

The former Justice of the High Court has been a vocal advocate for LGBTIQ+ rights both here in Australia and around the world.

Mr Kirby’s speech will be on the topic from Alfred Kinsey, to Orlando and Beyond: The role of research in confronting homophobia.
