to Darwin.


There will be no HERDSA email news next Wed as I will be at the conference.
I am looking forward to meeting many of you face-to-face rather than
anonymously through emails.


This week we have:

	Notice of Lecture in Brisbane-24 July 2009

	Position Vacant at La Trobe University

	Forthcoming Conference

	Update of IDP Database on International Education




Notice of Lecture in Brisbane-24 July 2009 

The biennial Professor GW (Bill) Bassett Oration set from 5pm, 24 July 2009,
Waterford Place, St Joseph's College, Cnr Quarry & Water Streets, Spring
Hill (Brisbane) on Growing Gorgeous Boys into Good Men by NZ social justice
advocate, storyteller and commentator, Celia Lashlie.  
 
If you are able to be in Brisbane at this time we welcome the chance to meet
colleagues, acknowledge peers, and hear Celia's oral narrative.  
 
Celia worked in prisons and delved into why young men went off the path when
in search of manhood.  Beneath the veneer, she discovered a world of living
in the moment, of vulnerability, of intense wisdom.  She has spoken to
students, teachers and parents in re-evaluating attitudes and approaches to
growing up as a result of the "Good Man" project.  
 
Pre-registration is essential.
