Wellbeing and Education (WE) Research Community proudly presents a Conversations on Wellbeing We Need to Have: The Academic Chat - Being The Change We Want to See in Higher Education hosted by Professor Narelle Lemon, Edith Cowan University, Associate Professor Mark Selkrig, The University of Melbourne, Associate Professor Kathie Ardzejewska, The University of Notre Dame, and Dr Jason Downs, Productivity Renovation Guru from On The Reg Podcast.

Join us for this live podcast recording for The Whisper Collective. We’ll be online and you’ll share in the behind the scenes and live recording with a panel who have many thoughts and wishes for how we care for each other in this “Conversations on Wellbeing We Need to Have: The Academic Chat - Being The Change We Want to See in Higher Education”.

Through open and honest dialogue, a diverse panel will explore what it truly means to be a scholar, educator, researcher and change-maker in today's rapidly evolving higher education landscape: 

What are the systemic obstacles we face?
How can we cultivate more equitable, inclusive, and student-centered practices?
How does the research and teaching come together rather than compete?
What does being well actually mean? What do we want from leaders?  How can we be the change we want to see?  

Aims: 

1. Facilitate open and honest dialogue among a diverse panel of scholars, educators, researchers, and professional staff to explore what it truly means to be a change-maker in the rapidly evolving higher education landscape. 
2. Be proactive in how we support one another at i-we-us level.
3. Unpack the systemic obstacles and challenges faced by those working in the higher education sector, and identify ways to cultivate more equitable, inclusive, and student-centered practices. 
4. Examine the relationship between research and teaching, and how these aspects of academic work can be better integrated rather than seen as competing priorities. 
5. Critically examine the concept of 'being well' in higher education, and empower the panel and audience to articulate their aspirations for supportive leadership and the changes they want to see within the sector.
