Gary’s massive academic legacy includes over 30 books and 360 articles—with many still forthcoming. His most recent book, authored with Andrew Singleton, Anna Halafof and Mary Lou Rasmussen, Freedoms, Faiths and Futures: Teenage Australians on Religion, Sexuality and Diversity, arising from an ARC Discovery Project, was published in April this year (Singleton et al. 2021).

His work reached far beyond the academy, with notable policy work including the Human Rights Commission’s 2011 inquiry into Freedom of Religion and Belief in 21st
