Join Dennis Altman for a lecture drawing on the interconnection between United States of America’s cultural hegemony and the rise of queer identities, titled Queer and Bogan: The Provocations of Paul Yore.

His most recent books are Unrequited Love: Diary of an Accidental Activist and God Save the Queen: the strange persistence of monarchies. Altman is Vice Chancellor’s Fellow at LaTrobe University in Melbourne. He was President of the AIDS Society of Asia and the Pacific (2001-5) and was listed by The Bulletin as one of the 100 most influential Australians ever.
