A celebrity decorator with blue hair. A single mother who advised JFK in the Oval Office. A Christian nudist with a passion for almond milk. As explored by Dr. Yves Rees in Travelling to Tomorrow: The Modern Women Who Sparked Australia's Romance with America (New South, 2024), a century ago, ten Australian women did something remarkable. Throwing convention to the wind, they headed across the Pacific to make their fortune. In doing so, they reoriented Australia towards the United States years before politicians began to lumber down the same path. For the artist Mary Cecil Allen, this meant spreading the word about American abstract expressionism. For the naturopath Alice Caporn, it meant evangelising fruit juices and salads. For the swimmer Isabel Letham, it was teaching synchronised swimming. Others imported the latest thinking in dentistry, fashion, design, economics, law, music, medicine and more. They were rebels, they were trailblazers, they were disruptors. Individually, they have extraordinary stories; together, they change the narrative of Australian history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Tackling this challenging topic with respect, breadth and depth of experience David Leser, Yves Rees, Mariam Veiszadeh together with Jess Hill consider patriarchy and how it affects us all. Through the lens of history, non-binary perspectives and cultures around the world, we are presented with hope and practical tools to become aware of patriarchy - external and internal, and the idea of change and how to achieve it.

Chaired by Jennifer Mills. In this remarkable memoir, historian and author Yves Rees invites readers into their experience of coming out as trans. At once generous and challenging, All About Yves is a fascinating journey through the author's experience of ‘re-becoming': “What happens when, aged 30, you understand you're transgender?” they ask. Situating their personal story within the broader historical and cultural context of transgender people in Australia and around the world, Yves provides a warm and illuminating perspective on complex issues of identity, sexuality and the human experience.

Twilight Talks | Authorial Voice Hosted by Benjamin Law. Join Australia's favourite raconteur Ben Law for our rescheduled Twilight Talks, now on the Plane Tree Stage at 5pm. Living Gender brings together a dynamic panel to examine gender in contemporary Australia, featuring Yves Rees, whose memoir All About Yves: Notes from a Transition is a beautiful account of re-becoming and trans identity, Omar Sakr, a lauded Queer poet and novelist, whose thrilling writing examines notions of belonging when one's identity is at odds with one's family and faith, and Brandon Jack, a former AFL player who suffered greatly when he tried to conform to sport's rigid notions of masculinity, and was liberated when he reimagined what it meant to be a man.
What happens when, aged 30, you understand you’re transgender? This was the question that confronted Dr Yves Rees, an award-winning author, historian and regular contributor to ABC Radio and The Conversation, whose life was upended by gender transition in 2018. Then known as a woman called Anne, Yves was forced to grapple with the knowledge that they were not, in fact, a woman at all. In this episode, Yves shares the events that led to their transition including completing a PhD, ending a relationship with a male, moving cities and even dabbling in a brief encounter with marijuana which unlocked the human who’d been hiding inside all along. Yves describes the limitless joy that surfaced when the binary confines of society gave way to the euphoric possibility of what’s next. Yves expresses the desire that sits within each of us to be seen for who we are, regardless of the complexities and conflicts that are so very innately human. Yves’s wisdom is profound and invites the radical self-inquiry of us all. If there’s any part of you that yearns to be more you, we know you’ll relate to Yves while applauding this very personal, and universal story of a wise, articulate and curious human who’s just trying to be themselves in a world that has space for them.

Welcome to Kids Pod, a podcast where kids get to ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask. You send in the questions and our adults will give kids the answers they want to hear. Dr Yves Rees is transgender. Yves used to be called Anne and people referred to Yves as "she" or "her". Now Yves prefers to be referred to as "them" or "they". If this is confusing, you may want to pause this podcast now and talk to your parents before you listen to this episode. We welcome Yves to Kids Pod today. To send us your questions for future episodes, contact us at aimeechan.com. We also ask that you please subscribe so you don't miss any future episodes of Kids Pod. And to help other people to find us and spread the word, we would love it if you would give Kids Pod a 5 star rating and share our link with your friends. Kids Pod was created by Aimee Chan. Intro by Niki Strauss. Cover art by Glen Strauss. Narration by Isabella Fraser.

What do we know about queer lives and stories from the past? At this special live recording at the Wheeler Centre, hosts Clare Wright and Yves Rees are joined by historian Noah Riseman and trans scholar and activist Julie Peters to discuss the absence of queer people, especially trans and gender diverse people, from conventional records and historical data. Where else might we go to locate a trans or non-binary lineage? What records may LGBTIQA+ elders and predecessors have kept, and how we can recover and integrate queer figures and stories into our broader understanding of Australian history? Join us as we discuss how to set the record queer. Recorded live at the Wheeler Centre, Melbourne on 28 November 2019.
