Justine Rogers is a Sydney based comedian who thinks that she has cracked the formula for a great TEDx Talk. But has she?
Justine Rogers is also an academic specialising in the sociology of elites, professional identity and ethics. Her Oxford doctoral thesis was an ethnographic study of UK barristers and she is now a Lecturer at UNSW Law. As well performing solo standup, Justine is a member of the festival hit comedy trio, Aggressively Helpful.
To combine her two great loves, she founded Nerd Nite Sydney, a monthly event at a bar in which academics and other experts share their passions in deeply educational, but fun and inclusive ways.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
