There is a full and thought-provoking program for the weekend. For the Conference, we have a fantastic opportunity to hear keynotes with Cordelia Fine speaking on How the New Neurosexism Helps Sustain the Status Quo: Charting the journey from scanner to sound bite to society and Katie Thomas speaking on Where's Wally-Anna? Solidarity for women.

  *   Dr Cordelia Fine is an academic psychologist and writer.  Described as "a brilliant feminist critic of the neurosciences", the Guardian suggested that her recent book, Delusions of gender: The real science behind sex differences, "could have far-reaching consequences as significant as The Female Eunuch."   She is currently a Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Agency, Values & Ethics at Macquarie University, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Keynote on Saturday, 3 Dec; see more about Cordelia at http://www.cordeliafine.com/
  *   Dr Katie Thomas' research passions are social justice and the nurturance of children.  At the macro-social level this means focus on public policy and the feminization of poverty; at the meso-level, on cultural exclusion and silencing of children and trauma; at the individual clinical level focus on trauma recovery and protection and recovery from violence.  Her experiences as academic, clinician and human drove her most recent publication Human Life Matters: a documentation of global erosion of human rights, and particularly those of children, with specific focus on Australia. Keynote on Sunday, 4 Dec; see more about Katie at http://curtin.academia.edu/KatieThomas/Papers
