The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

You are reading: UTS webinar: What kind of university does society need now?

Event information

Date
Wednesday 2nd June 2021
Location

Online Webinar

Universities have been around for a long time, and are constantly evolving under social and economic influences.

The Australian higher education sector is at a crucial moment in history – what kind of university does society need now? Are they gatekeepers of accreditation, or can they operate in a way that strengthens community, democracy, and culture?

Join the UTS Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion in discussion on the social and public purpose of higher education in the 21st century, with speakers:

  • Distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt AO (UTS Jumbunna Institute)
    Professor Glyn Davis AC (Paul Ramsay Foundation)
    Professor Jonathan Grant (King’s College London)
    The Hon. Verity Firth (UTS Centre for Social Justice & Inclusion)

Accessibility: This event will be live captioned.

Time: Jun 9, 2021 04:00 PM AEST.
