Thursday 3 April from 6:15pm to 7pm

Hear University of Sydney researchers, academics and alumni share their big ideas at Raising the Bar.

What does a good childhood look like and how can parents foster the traits their children need to face any circumstance? As climate change and geopolitical upheaval challenge parenting norms and expectations, join philosophy professor Luara Ferracioli to think critically about the role of family.

Learn about the tools that can help children thrive in adversity and examine the morality of parenthood and child rearing in a rapidly changing world.
