The Future of Academia
15 DECEMBER 2020, 16.00 - 17.00 (Sydney time), right before the AGM
Where is academia headed in the next decade and beyond? How can we organise ourselves to face these challenges?
Join Prof. Alan Dench (Provost, Curtin University), Dr Sally Dixon (Lecturer, University of New England), Prof. Gerry Docherty (Dean/Research, Arts, Education and Law, Griffith University), and Prof. Lesley Stirling (Head, School of Languages and Linguistics, University of Melbourne) as they discuss the future of academia. Moderated by A/Prof. Robert Mailhammer (Associate Dean/Research, Dean’s Unit, Western Sydney University), this panel will tackle some of the following questions:
- What are universities for? Who are they for?
- What is the role of disciplines such as Linguistics in the future university?
- How does the academy or a discipline replicate itself? Should it replicate itself?
- Who gets to decide on these questions and why?
- How can Linguistics as a discipline position itself in such contested and rapidly changing landscape?
This panel will take place live. The live event will not be recorded so please mark your diaries. This event is open to all conference delegates.
