News 24 SeptemberACU Library regularly hosts free online workshops to support graduate researchers. Here’s what’s coming up for the rest of the semester.
Rescheduled to Tuesday 7 September 2021.
Following the COVID lockdown in South East Queensland, ACU’s inaugural Human Library on our Brisbane Campus has been rescheduled to Tuesday 7 September 2021.
Do you wonder what it is like to walk in someone else’s shoes? Why not borrow a Human Book and gain a different perspective? Discover more about the lives and experiences of those who have been misunderstood, stereotyped, or faced stigma at the ACU Human Library.
The Human Library is a program where readers (open to Brisbane staff and students) can check out Human Books for a one-on-one conversation. These incredible books will challenge your preconceptions, give you greater understanding, and give you the opportunity to get to know someone from the wider community. Through positive dialogue, the Human Library’s goals are to encourage new ideas and ways of thinking in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
ACU Human Library will run at the Brisbane campus on Tuesday 7 September 2021.

Start a conversation with one of our 21 Human Books that cover a wide range of topics.
Bookings are now open. To make your selection click ‘next available’. Make sure you book online as places are limited.
