HERDSA Webinar: Education Focussed Academics:the changing face of academia
Thursday 4th August 2022
There have always been discipline based academics whose passion has been education rather than research. The contribution and commitment of these faculty, while often valued within their own department, has largely gone unrecognised at an institutional level in absence of clear guidelines and a national policy. However, this is slowly changing. More and more institutions now have teaching/education focused academics engaging in scholarship, accessing professional development opportunities and with career progression akin to those with traditional teaching and research work portfolios.
In this panel discussion hosted by the HERDSA NSW Branch, we will explore the recent drivers and changes to the higher education environment that have led to the development of these roles; look at the question of ‘academic identity’ and career pathways in this changing institutional environment and some of the challenges that still remain.
Webinar Presenters: Janis Wardrop, Jo-Anne Chuck, Corina Raduescu, Collins Fleischner, Gerry Raynor, Sharon Flecknoe, John Randal, Susan Page

Revitalising Universities Symposium, November 2022: Call for Submissions deadline extended to 17 July
Revitalising Universities in (post-) COVID times. University of Tokyo (Tokyo), November 4 and 5, 2022
This two-day event seeks to bring together academics, educators, and experts from Australia, Japan and other regions to discuss the future of higher education as universities navigate pathways out of the pandemic.
We are pleased to announce that Professor Emerita Raewyn Connell will be joining (virtually) as keynote speaker. Echoing Connell’s original call to rethink the ‘good university’, COVID has thrown into question taken-for-granted notions about the position of universities, forcing a reframing of understandings around their social purpose.
We are seeking papers that explore the different practices and values reflected in pandemic responses and adaptations across the globe, and relatedly, how the pandemic has reshaped the social purpose of higher education.
This is a free hybrid event, however due to COVID restrictions in-person places are limited.
Convened by Naomi Berman (University of Tokyo)
