Can the critically engaged universities of the future find unity in diversity?
Significant players and persons are beginning to question the future role of universities - with engagement being at the heart of future models. The future of the critically engaged university is a BIG social issue for our time. Critically engaged universities must address such questions of what kind of communities they are intended for? How will their community of interest be defined? What kind of knowledge is appropriate for a different university?
Join with us for an international panel-based discussion that includes Executives, Vice Chancellors and Senior Managers focused on developing the critically engaged university of the future. Attendees will receive an advanced copy of this new edition of Australia’s Engagement journal at the Symposium.
