| Dear ~~first_name~~
Thanks to Roger Wilkinson (Digital Publications Editor) and Alan Nixon (TASA 2019 LOC member), we have several videos to share with you from TASA 2019, including the Presidential address and the three keynote presentations, see Conference Outputs below. | | Doing Sociology with Diverse Publics: An open public Panel event that brought together a range of sociologists and allied social scientists who use the discipline in many different ways and contexts. Convenor and host David Rowe with panelists Nathaniel Bavinton, Christina Ho, Janine Pickering & Shanthi Robertson, along with the audience, discussed the benefits and obstacles of activating the sociological imagination among diverse publics. You can access the video here: https://www.facebook.com/AustSoc/videos/523810725140321/ | | | | Why do we always assume it was the New Right that was at the centre of constructing neoliberalism? How might corporatism have advanced neoliberalism? And, more controversially, were the trade unions only victims of neoliberal change, or did they play a more contradictory role? In How Labour Built Neoliberalism, Elizabeth Humphrys examines the role of the Labour Party and trade unions in constructing neoliberalism in Australia, and the implications of this for understanding neoliberalism's global advance. These questions are central to understanding the present condition of the labour movement and its prospects for the future.

Towards a Global Sociology of Trans and Gender Diverse Health.
After years of advocacy for improved recognition and action, the health and well-being of trans and gender diverse people is receiving overdue attention. In some parts of the world, gender-affirming care is made available in forms which explicitly support a diverse range of gender identities, service preferences and affirmation goals. However, good quality models of care are unevenly available and face a range of threats, creating heightened uncertainty for those who need to access them.
The aim of this special issue is to enhance knowledge on what supports and complicates the provision of health care and support for trans and gender diverse people across different parts of the world.
