The introduction to this talk is given by Hayden Ramsay, Provost of the Sydney Campus and Executive Dean of Philosophy and Theology at Notre Dame University. Cardinal George Pell also used this occasion to launch a groundbreaking new online journal called Solidarity, which you can access here: .

Dr. Arne Rubinstein addresses the audience at Maggie Hamilton's book launch and tells of his work with Pathways to Manhood.

Dr. Arne Rubinstein believes the most important event in a male's life is the transition from boy to man. 'Yet this is the one we totally ignore,' Dr Rubinstein says. 'Boys are fundamentally missing out on what they need to acknowledge, honour and support this journey to manhood. Every indigenous community and society has had a process for recognising this path and we don't.'
