the context of the marriage debate and its aftermath and renewed debates about patriarchy and misogyny, the activist and intellectual work of the 1970s is being revisited in a variety of ways. Similarly, activist campaigns across a range of issues including
indigenous sovereignty, the detention of refugees, disability rights and cuts to welfare programmes have renewed a focus on practices of solidarity and coalitionist politics associated with the 1970s. As a conference that invites people who are both inside
and outside of universities, it is an exciting opportunity to reflect on ways for doing work in sex, gender and sexuality across university and community settings.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#26282A"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">This
