decades we have seen successive governments downgrade the value and importance
of higher education in Australia. The Rudd government may have temporarily
arrested the steady decline in the funding environment, but there remains much
to be done to keep our higher education system operating at an international
standard. A most worrying long term trend has been the steady
instrumentalisation of higher education – a focus on vocational and
professional outcomes as the primary purpose of its teaching programs, and a
privileging of industry partnerships in research funding. The controversy
over the restructuring of the Gillard government ministry is among the more
recent indicators of this trend, as the initial removal of portfolio titles
which explicitly mentioned education and research was seen as signalling an
alarming narrowing of the presumed function of higher education. In this kind
of context, the humanities disciplines have been especially disadvantaged. Many
research funding programs and many of the national research strategies exclude
the participation of the humanities, and the case for a humanities education is
looking increasingly vulnerable as the broader function of education seems no
longer to be recognised, let alone advanced, by government. In this
lecture, drawing on many years of working between the university sector, government
and other peak organizations dealing with the humanities, Professor Turner will
discuss what he describes as a crisis for the humanities disciplines as they
struggle to maintain their distinctive presence in Australian universities
today.<span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Graeme Turner</a> FAHA is ARC Federation Fellow and Director of the <a
href="http://www.cccs.uq.edu.au/">Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies</a> at
the University of Queensland. His research has produced 21 books, and his work
has been translated into 9 languages, but this lecture will draw upon his
experience in dealing with government and the university sector as a
representative of the humanities over many years. In recent years, Professor
Turner was the chair of the trial ERA for Humanities and Creative Arts (2009),
the chair of the National Collaborative Research Information Strategy Working
Group for Humanities and Creative Arts (2008), a member of the ARC ERA
Indicators Committee for Humanities and Creative Arts (2008), and the ARC
College of Experts for the Humanities and Creative Arts (2002-2004). As
President and, before that, Vice-President, of the Australian Academy of the
Humanities (2002-2007), he has represented the humanities on the National
Academies Forum, the Australian Research Information Infrastructure Committee,
the National Curriculum and Achievement Standards Committee, and many other
fora, such as the National Summit on National Research Priorities. He is one of
only two humanities academics to have been appointed as a personal member of
the Prime Minister’s Science, Engineering and Innovation Council since
the Council was established during the Hawke government. <span
