❁ If you're considering coming to the Institute of Australian Geographers Conference in Newcastle NSW this year, please do think about contributing to our session that we're organising on the concept of 'acceptance' in geography ❁ We think that it's a really intriguing and timely theme ❁

UOW Course Cut Proposal - Stop the 888! - Better Workplaces = Better Universities Be part of National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) member' enterprise bargaining campaign and help create better workplaces and better universities.

It is unthinkable that this situation has arisen, and I sincerely hope that the UOW executive rethinks these proposals. You can sign the NTEU-led petition here to show your support: betteruniversities.work/uow-petition... 5/5

But what also characterises geographers at UOW is their collegiality, generosity and care towards other scholars, both academics and studentsβ€”and this ethos definitely has big ripple effects across the rest of the discipline in Australia. 4/5

In terms of funded research success alone, geographers at UOW are one of the top performing programs in Australiaβ€”they currently hold 1 Laureate, 1 Future Fellowship, 2 DECRAs, 4 Discoveries, 2 Linkages, in addition to an enviable record of industry funding. 3/5

University to cut 137 academics due to $35m drop in international student enrolments The University of Wollongong has approached staff across 25 disciplines for redundancies in a restructure the union fears could abolish its degrees in history, mathematics, geography and languages.

The very idea of so many incredible geography friends and colleagues at the University of Wollongong being in scope for possible redundancy next month is absolutely gut wrenching www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11... 1/5
