Ben Clun | 2021 Speaker

To care about those who hate us

As a teen, Ben dropped out of high school and left home. He went overseas to Fiji for a few months as a volunteer, until a near-death experience brought him back to Australia. He then served three years in the military, before discharging due to injury.

Ben is now found at QUT as a student in the Biomedical Sciences, and fills his spare time with writing, poetry and promoting feminism to anyone who will listen. He awakens his diverse life experiences with passion and energy, and dreams of changing the world.
