The History of Education and the Values of Cultural Heritage Other events...
A public lecture by Ian Reid, Adjunct Professor, English and Cultural Studies UWA.

A century ago, when The University of Western Australia first opened its doors to students, the general purposes of higher education seemed relatively clear in the public mind. But these days there is less certainty about the relevance of some cherished academic traditions. What distinctive role do universities still have, if any? What can the wider community reasonably expect universities to deliver? What should be the relationship between universities and cultural institutions in the heritage and collections sector?

This lecture is presented by the Institute of Advanced Studies, the National Trust of Australia (WA) and Australia ICOMOS to celebrate the International Day of Monuments and Sites on 18 April. The theme for the 2013 celebration is the Heritage of Education. This year’s lecture also forms part of the National Trust’s 2013 Western Australian Heritage Festival. For more details on the festival go to www.national trust.org.au .
