Moving the Middle: The Gender Compass Podcast

Moving the Middle: The Gender Compass Podcast

Why do conversations about gender equality so often stall — at work, at home, or even at the school gate? And more importantly, how do we move them forward? Backed by the groundbreaking Gender Compass research, Moving the Middle is where data meets real stories. Each episode explores how leaders, communicators and changemakers are using fresh insights to engage the ‘moveable middle’ — those Australians whose views aren’t set in stone, but who hold the power to shift the national conversation on gender equality. Hosted by Hayley Cull, Deputy CEO of Engagement at Plan International Australia, and Dr Rebecca Huntley, Director of Research at 89 Degrees East, the series unpacks what works, what doesn’t, and what you can try in your own context. Think of it as your practical guide to making gender equality conversations easier, more effective, and more impactful. So whether you’re leading change, crafting campaigns, or simply navigating those tricky dinner table debates, join us. Together, let’s move the middle — and move forward.
