  • Innovation Case Study Muslim World Study Tour
    Innovation Case Study Muslim World Study Tour Associate Professor Halim Rane, School of Humanities CONTEXT The guiding principle of the Griffith University Islam-West Relations major and particularly its capstone course, the Muslim World Study Tour (MWST), is to provide students with a transformative international education experience, which will enable them to make positive contributions as global citizens and professionals. The Muslim World Study Tour has offered as 10 credit-point course in the Islam-West Relations major on an annual basis since 2012. Each time between 12-14 students are selected to participate; a total of 65 students have completed the course to date. RATIONALE Student enrolments in Islamic Studies programs in Australia have increased by 200 percent since 2008 (Adie 2014). Western governments and academics alike have identified a significant role for Islamic Studies in understanding and effectively responding to the challenges of conflict and terrorism as well as Muslim integration into Western societies (Gol 2011; Hussain 2008; Higher Education Academy 2008; Dien 2007). A critical role has been identified for Islamic Studies in promoting “a better understanding of Islam, undermining the basis for extremism” and leading Muslim and non-Muslim students “to reflect critically on their own assumptions and practices” (Suleiman and Shihadeh 2007, p. 321). The MWST uses an experiential learning approach (Kolb and Kolb 2005; Baker et al. 2002) in which concrete experiences and reflective observation are the principal focus. It provides students with practical skills to deal respectfully, sensitively, and professionally with people of diverse cultures, religions and nationalities; observe, analyse and understand different cultures and traditions; work professionally and co-operatively as part of a group and as a representative of an organisation (the university).

    Innovation Case Study Laos Community Development Project Nursing Placement Hazel Rands, Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery CONTEXT This international clinical placement experience is linked to a core 3rd year course Community Nursing Practice (3804NRS) for students enrolled in Bachelor of Nursing and provides the required 80 hours (plus) of clinical practicum experience. Up to 50 students can participate in this Trimester 3 program each year with more than 250 students having completed the placement since 2010. This course introduces students to core concepts including community as client, social determinants of health, primary health care and health promotion, comparative views of public health, cultural safety and community development. The learning outcomes of these courses require students to explore selected approaches to working in partnership with diverse and vulnerable individuals, families and population groups in order to promote health, social justice, equity and empowerment. A community development project in a developing country provides an optimal environment to engage in aspects of all these concepts. The students also observe local health and societal practices and consider historical influences through planned cultural site visits and cultural immersion activities. RATIONALE Nursing students are often excluded from study abroad opportunities due to restrictive clinical course requirements. Immersion placements support the development of cultural competence and Australian students may be disadvantaged by distance

  • THE ROLE of the CIVIC UNIVERSITY in AUSTRALIA the Making of a City Region Conference 29 - 30 August 2019 Australian Catholic University, Brisbane
    THE ROLE OF THE CIVIC UNIVERSITY IN AUSTRALIA The making of a City Region Conference 29 - 30 August 2019 Australian Catholic University, Brisbane Location: ACU Leadership Centre, 229 Elizabeth Street, Brisbane Gold Partners Silver Partners Sponsors engagementaustralia.org.au The Role of the Civic University in Australia: the Making of a City Region. Universities are massive economic generators of wealth and social capital in their own right and they contribute significantly to the building of our cities and regions. They are seen by many as crucial to the healthy social and political life of democratic societies. How might we redraw the boundaries of our thinking so as to clarify what we believe to be the need for critical and insightful analysis of engagement by universities, through the lens of an improved social result? In her keynote speech to the conference this year, Professor Sharon Bell AM will redraw some of the boundaries of our thinking around the university as an ‘anchor’ institution, mooring individuals and communities towards building better cities and regions - often in a culture of conflict and contestation, emerging from the interaction and relations between industry, governments and learning institutions. Engaging Australia’s First People’s is a key concern for the modern civic university and the conference this year is fortunate to welcome a number of outstanding academic leaders who will address this theme, including Professor Tom Calma AO, Chancellor, University of Canberra, and Professor Angela Barney-Leitch, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Strategy), Queensland University of Technology. Our program will showcase many illustrative case studies (from the Gold Coast to Manchester) that have led to a better role for universities and better outcomes for students of all kinds.

They are where we forge our understanding of ourselves and the world around us – and our place in a forward-looking nation. Our universities educated more Australian students than ever before in 2019 – over one million Australian and 450,00 international students. Almost 340,000 students graduated that same year. Our universities offer courses in natural and physical sciences, information technology, engineering, architecture and building, agriculture and environmental studies, health, education, management and commerce, society and culture, creative arts and food hospitality and personal services. Universities are constantly adding new disciplines of study that reflect changes in industry, society and workplaces. Through them, they seek to prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist. Australia relies on our world-class university research to find solutions to the biggest challenges and to grasp the most promising opportunities. University expertise, ingenuity and innovation help to develop new industries and new jobs that will shape Australia’s future. Through collaborations with business, university researchers help them solve their toughest problems and bring their ideas to fruition. Through this research, education and community engagement, universities improve the lives of individuals, families, communities, and the nation. Thirty-nine outstanding universities are members of Universities Australia and this, the 2021 edition of University Profiles, is your guide to all of them.
