In November last year I was invited to imagine a parallel world without gender as part of an event at Melbourne Conversations. ABC recently broadcast those dispatches from the multiverse on Big Ideas with Natasha Mitchell, you can hear it here.

What if you could learn from a person who has been to another world? This event takes the premise at the heart of The Parallel Effect project – that an untold number of universes exist alongside each other – and invites you to gain direct access to some of our reality’s most fascinating thinkers as they describe the histories, structures and systemic workings of the parallel worlds they have visited, in detail.
