The 2014 Diversity Dialogue event will be presented tomorrow evening (Tuesday, 9 September) as part of the University of Tasmania’s inaugural Strength in Diversity month.
Throughout September, the University will be providing opportunities for the broader University and Tasmanian communities to celebrate the complexity and richness of diversity and its influence on us.
This year’s Diversity Dialogue will feature two distinguished University of Tasmania alumni, Professor Dennis Altman and Senator the Hon Lisa Singh.
Professor Dennis Altman
Dennis Altman is the son of Jewish refugees, and a writer and academic who first came to attention with the publication of his book Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation in 1972. Since then Altman has written 11 books exploring sexuality, politics and their inter-relationship in Australia, the United States and globally.
Senator the Hon Lisa Singh
Lisa Singh was a Minister in the Tasmanian Government from 2008 to 2010, and was elected as a Tasmanian Labor Senator in August 2010. Following a period as Shadow Parliamentary Secretary to the Shadow Attorney General, she became Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment, Climate Change and Water on 24 June 2014.
