My systematic engagement with him dates back to 2002 when I organised and chaired a public seminar given by Amar at Griffith University when I was the Director of the Australian Research Council’s Key Centre for Cultural and Media Policy. Amar also served as a member of the Centre’s Advisory Committee becoming an Honorary Professor of Griffith University. Since coming to the University of Queensland (UQ) in 2004 I have had the opportunity to participate in workshops, master classes, lectures and collaborative learning sessions directed by Amar at the Australian National University, University of Queensland and with various cultural institutions. In the lead up to my term as Head of the School of English, Media Studies & Art History (2005-2008) I negotiated with Amar to come to UQ as the first full Professor of Museum Studies in Australia.

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.
