An evening with Noam Chomsky
Deakin played host to world-renowned linguist, analytical philosopher and activist Professor Noam Chomsky in his only public appearance on his recent visit to Melbourne, on 4 November. The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre’s Plenary arena set the scene for an enlightening, and at times confronting, evening. A guest of Deakin’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Professor Chomsky presented a lecture on 'Changing Contours of Global Order', a look at our dramatically changing world and the implications for world order. Get your creative juices flowing!

People mover or Prius? Japanese reliability or European chic? Green or fun? These are just some of the choices confronting the average consumer when it comes to purchasing a car. And while we may baulk at the choice, information and imagery overload that is the car marketing world today, we haven’t even scratched beneath the high-gloss surfaces to consider what is happening behind the scenes.

Moving back home great for boomerang kids, but what about the rest of the family?
For the ‘boomerang generation’, moving back home is often a positive experience, but what impact does this have on the rest of the family? Previous research by Deakin University PhD student Elyse Warner revealed that moving back home with mum and dad was not seen as a negative step by ‘boomerang kids’ - young adults who, after living independently, had returned to live with their parents. She is now extending her study to investigate the impact on family members as well. |
