Forty years ago, a young Australian expat living in the USA synthesised the politics of the emerging gay liberation movement in a provocative book called Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation. In recognition of the fortieth anniversary of the publication of Homosexual and to mark Professor Altman's retirement, this international conference will bring together leading and emerging scholars to reflect on the impact of Homosexual and the legacy of gay liberation. Speakers from North and South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania will present over 80 papers. Hosted and funded by the Gender, Sexuality and Diversity program at La Trobe University in conjunction with the Australian Lesbian & Gay Archives, Midsumma, Victoria University and Australian Centre for the Moving Image.
