Australian Universities: A conversation about public good: Public and Social Policy Series

Editat de Julia Horne, Matthew A M Thomas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2022
Reshapes the current public and academic conversations about higher education policy and practice to determine what is good higher education policy. Brings together a group of higher education experts from different disciplinary backgrounds including policy studies, history, sociology, political science, and education to explain the Australian university experience today. Covers topics of great interest to researchers, postgraduate students, practitioners of higher education policy and practice; historians of education, politics, and Australian life; and general readers interested in universities as social institutions. Australian Universities: A conversation about public good highlights contemporary challenges facing Australian universities and offers new ideas for expanding public good. More than 20 experts take up the debate about our public universities: who they are for; what their mission is (or should be); what strong higher education policy entails; and how to cultivate a robust and constructive relationship between government and Australian universities. Issues covered include: How to change a culture of exclusion to ensure all are welcome in universities, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students as well as those from low socio-economic backgrounds. How "educational disadvantage" in Australia often begins in school and is still the major barrier to full university participation. The reality that funding for research and major infrastructure requires significant additional funds from non-government sources (e.g. international student fees). A lack of policy recognition that international university students increase Australias social, cultural and economic capital. Pathways to making policy decisions wide-ranging, consultative, inclusive and inspired rather than politically partisan and deologically driven. The impact of COVID-19 on universities, and particularly how the pandemic and governmental responses exacerbated extant and emerging issues. Australian Universities rekindles a much-needed conversation about the vital role of public universities in our society, arguing for initiatives informed by the realities of university life and offering a way forward for government, communities, students and public universities together to advance public good.
