Feminism has come a long way and has reshaped the world greatly. However, today we are still far from achieving gender equality. While significant progress can be observed in some areas, there are still barriers that remain mostly unchallenged. In this panel discussion, speakers will share their insights on some of these barriers and what can be done to overcome them.

Our panellists include:

• Emeritus Professor Marian Sawer: Former Head of the Political Science Program, RSSS, ANU and Head, Democratic Audit of Australia.
• Professor Margaret Thornton: Professor of Law at the ANU
• Dr Rebecca Pearse: Postdoctoral Fellow, ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences

Registration is not required. All welcome. Refreshments will be provided.
