About this event
With an oration delivered by Ellen Van Neerven followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion, this year’s event is a unique opportunity to interrogate racism in sport with experts who will challenge you to think critically about the role sport can play in negotiating the necessary space for anti-racism action.
This lecture is an opportunity to hear from Ellen Van Neerven, an award-winning author, editor and educator of Mununjali Yugambeh (South East Queensland) and Dutch heritage. Ellen will speak to their expertise on this topic, drawing on their book “Personal Score: Sport, Identity, Culture”, which is described as a ground-breaking examination of sport's troubled relationship with race, gender and sexuality.
The Kep Enderby Memorial Lecture is an annual public event held by the Australian Human Rights Commission to honour the memory of the Hon. Kep Enderby QC (1926-2015). As Attorney-General, Kep Enderby introduced into Parliament the Bill which would become the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth). Each year, the Memorial Lecture advances public understanding and debate about the Racial Discrimination Act, racism and human rights.

The lecture, sponsored by the EU Delegation to Australia and introduced by the EU Ambassador to Australia, Hi Excellency Mr Gabriele Visentin, will be delivered online via Zoom.
