2024 º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Aitkin Lecture by Professor Chris Wallace
The 2024 º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Aitkin Lecture, entitled Seen and Heard, will be delivered by Chris Wallace, Professor in the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ's School of Politics Economics and Society, and Academic Director of the Centre for a Better Canberra (FAB CBR).
Professor Wallace will explore who gets to be seen and heard in three key settings – caucus, the courtroom and the common room – to consider how inclusion affects performance, and how significant that is to social and economic outcomes. Even small system changes can stimulate renewed high performance. Opportunities for doing so in politics, the justice system and universities are well within reach.
The annual lecture, named in memory of the late Emeritus Professor Don Aitkin AO – former Vice-Chancellor and President at the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, and valued contributor to our community – brings together distinguished scholars, artists, critics, and our University community for discussion and debate.
