HERDSA (Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia) Annual Conference "Higher Education on the Edge"

Griffith University is pleased to host the 2011 HERDSA (Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia) Conference.  The Conference theme Higher Education on the Edge captures the essence of 'seismic' shifts and 'tectonic' transformations occurring in the sector, both in Australia and internationally and was chosen to reflect the edgy, uncertain and intellectually challenging times we face in higher education.

As well as providing a forum for the voices of academic staff, researchers and professional staff who find themselves at the front lines of a rapidly diversifying higher education workforce, the 2011 Conference aims to push some of the more traditional higher education boundaries by encouraging representation from colleagues in the vocational education and training sector, from schools and private providers.

Research domains include:

• Academic practice, work and identities
• Learning, teaching, assessment and curriculum
• Quality and standards in higher education
• Leadership, management, governance and policy in higher education
• Student pathways, experiences, expectations and outcomes
