The Australian Student Christian Movement (ASCM) hosted a thought-provoking webinar featuring Dr. Brian Howe AO, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, who discussed the need for a response to the Federal Government’s recent announcement of the Australian Universities Accord. Dr. Ian Weeks of Deakin University provided insights on better

engagement with religion in universities, emphasizing the importance of addressing questions of cultural identity and direction. This enriching discussion underscored the significance of faith-based dialogues in shaping Australia’s higher education landscape. We thank Dr. Howe and Dr. Weeks for their valuable contributions.
