We were so thrilled to welcome Emerita Professor Raewyn Connell to QUT CJSDRC this week to present at two events – her first was an informative and inspiring internal workshop about Writing for Research: Theory and Practice, aimed at our post-grad and ECR students.
Her second event was a public seminar titled Good Universities or Ghastly Futures: How can we find a democratic path for higher education and research?. Central to this seminar, attended by 150+ people across a number of universities in Brisbane, was access to knowledge and participation in Australian public life, and the significance of this in the university context. Raewyn spoke of pathways moving toward a more democractic system, and gave innovative examples of extending access to knowledge and higher education.
We were very fortunate to have such an esteemed guest sharing her abundant knowledge with us all.
