Created by Murdoch in conjunction with the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), the symposium showcased research and practices focused on Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer or Questioning and Intersex (LGBTQI) human rights in WA, holistic approaches towards advocating for LGBTQI-friendly schools and universities, and supporting policy and curriculum development in human rights through cross-institutional partnerships.

A short video of the symposium is now available online, but you can also download a recording of the whole two hours of the discussion from the University.
