QUT Centre for Justice member, Dr Erin O’Brien, has presented the Keynote Address as part of a panel at the Australian Political Studies Association’s (APSA) Annual Conference at ANU, Canberra. The Conference is jointly hosted by the ANU School of Politics & International Relations, the Crawford School of Public Policy, and the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs
The Keynote Address is titled, ‘The Future of Political Studies in Australia’, and will discuss what needs to change, what needs to stay, and how early career academics can shape the future of our discipline. The panellists will highlight current challenges, those on the horizon, and canvas concrete and specific ideas for change.
The goal is to not only offer an honest stocktake of our discipline, but to focus discussion on specific avenues and ideas for change. The discussants will draw on their experiences in Australian political studies to reflect on their younger colleagues’ visions for the future, and suggest how they can be strengthened and implemented.
