HERDSA: Language & Academic Skills

[Coral Watson]

*********************************************
Language and Academic Skills Conference

29 - 30 November 2001
University of Wollongong

As we enter the 21st century, universities are experiencing a period of
unprecedented transformation: globalisation, corporatisation,
internationalisation, increased accountability, restructuring and new
technologies are among the forces reshaping our institutions.  The one
constant is change and inherent in this is our changing identities as we
grapple with the new demands we encounter daily.  These external forces, in
combination with developments in our field and related disciplines, cannot
fail to impact on our identities as LAS staff within our institutions, on
the identities of our students and on the identities of our academic
colleagues.

The Organising Committee invites you to join us on the 29 - 30 November
2001 at the University of Wollongong to discuss these issues.  Accordingly
we invite papers and presentations that address the themes of:

          changing identities of LAS advisers
          changing identities of Learning Centres
          student identities in times of change
          changing identities and the new technologies
