About this listen

 'Like the best sort of conversation, the Boyer Lectures have taken Australians down countless paths ‒ enthralling, challenging, unworn paths. My hope is to open yet another pathway; one that speaks to the importance of human rights in building neighbourhood, community and citizenship.' ‒ Her Excellency the Honourable Quentin Bryce The 2013 Boyer Lecture series, Back to Grassroots, includes four 30 minute lectures aired on ABC Radio National in November 2013, with the fourth lecture broadcast live in the Eugene Goossens Hall in Sydney. Joining the neighbourhood: a personal story of equal rights advocacy Watching the women: the powerful role of Australian women Australians at their best: courage, compassion and resilience in everyday life Advance Australia Fair: looking to the future of Australian citizenship. The annual Boyer Lecture series began in 1959 and has featured speakers from a broad range of disciplines and interests, presenting the result of their work and thinking on major social, scientific or cultural issues.©2013 Quentin Bryce.
