20 bars, 20 talks, 1 night

On 20 October, Sydney is Raising the Bar. Have a drink and listen to academics discussing a broad range of topics, as 20 pubs around the city will be transformed into classrooms for one night.

The University of Sydney has joined Raising the Bar to bring the popular worldwide initiative to Sydneysiders. It has previously run in New York, Hong Kong and London.

Topics discussed include the Paris Climate Conference, research in medicinal cannabis, writing in the digital age, gender inequality at work, and why Muslim women wear the veil.
