Founder’s Lecture: Georgina Beyer

Presented as part of samesame but different


Saturday 9 February 2019, 5.30 PM

Sir Paul Reeves Building  Room WG126, AUT City Campus, 2 Governor Fitzroy Place, Auckland City

Georgina Beyer is a person who literally needs no introduction, so it hardly seems necessary to add that she has been variously a prostitute, an entertainer, a mayor and the first trans MP in the world.

For many years she has influenced our lives just by being there.

She is also an inspiring speaker, so we have invited her to deliver our first annual Founder’s Lecture, generously supported by the Rule Foundation. Fresh from speaking to both the Oxford and Cambridge University Unions,
Georgina Beyer talks about five key decisions that – for better or for worse – have shaped her extraordinary life.

Introduced by samesame but different chairman Andrew Rumbles.
