The deadline for the submission of papers is 24 July 2010 for the SRHE
Annual Research Conference (ARC) and 31 July 2010 for the SRHE Postgraduate
and Newer Researchers Conference (PGNR)
Each year the SRHE Annual Conferences have grown in size and reputation.
Attending these events and presenting research work at SRHE Conference has
now become a key date in the higher education calendar.
By very popular demand we are returning to the Celtic Manor Resort in
Newport, Wales. Recognising the financial pressures facing Higher Education
we have held our delegate fees (excluding UK VAT) at the 2009 prices, making
this a superb opportunity to participate in this major international higher
education event. Our knowledge of this excellent venue also means that we
have been able to include new elements in the programme, such as research
group meetings during the conference to extend networking opportunities, and
also to offer opportunities for delegates to explore links with some of the
local higher education institutions.
A considerable number of delegates at the 2009 SRHE Conferences rated these
events as the best they had attended and we hope to see all of you again
this year. We would also encourage, and welcome, new attendees from around
the globe. With nearly 40% of delegates attending and presenting work coming
from outside the UK, our conferences are truly international in perspective
and content.
We hope you will be able to attend this year and look forward to seeing you
in December 2010. I encourage you to submit your work and register for
conference as soon as possible.
If you have any queries or require any further information please email the
SRHE Conference Team at srheconferenceteam at srhe.ac.uk

3) Invitation to the 50th Anniversary Oration of the Australian College of
Educators (QLD Branch)
TO: Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia
The Australian College of Educators (ACE), our College, celebrates its 50th
year of service to the educational community of Queensland this year. A
'signature' event is planned to recognise this contribution, incorporated in
a state-wide broadcast of the 2010 State Medallist Professor Neil Dempster's
oration, the launch of our historical publication Celebrating the First 50
Years: 1960-2010, and acknowledging new Fellows of the College.
Our State Branch Executive members cordially invite you and your members
across Queensland to participate in this special event and respectfully ask
that you once again circularise notice to your colleagues, encouraging
participation. We have invited the Premier, and Fellow of the College, the
Honourable Anna Bligh to present the Medal and Fellows' citations; and State
Librarian, Ms Lea Giles-Peters to announce our heritage book launch.
The details of the central event to which we invite you and local cohorts
are as follows:
Room G30 1.09, Building G30, Arts & Education 1 (Foyer Entry at Northern
End) Griffith University, off Smith Street into Parklands Drive, Southport
Order of Proceedings
6pm Arrival & Drinks
6.30pm College Awards
6.45pm Medallist & Oration
7.30pm Book Launch
7.40pm Fellowship
8.00pm Close
15 July 2010 - 50th Anniversary Oration - Continuity and Change:
Estranged Companions in 50 Years of Australian Education
Professor Dempster's oration will examine significant shifts in Australian
education over the last fifty years from a personal as well as a national
perspective. He will chart some of the most significant developments in
policy and practice, but at the same time will put some supposed 'truths'
about the education of children and young people under the spotlight. He
will pose and respond to the question: Are there matters in the education of
the young where continuity with the past should take precedence over reform
or change efforts for the future?
In commenting on the first 15 years of "promise and performance" of the
College in Queensland, Chair and former Director-General of Education, Mr
George Berkeley, summarised the purpose to create a fellowship of teachers,
which will foster educational thought and practice and set before itself and
the community the ethics of high professional responsibility, and efforts of
the College as a group that can give leadership to a growing profession in a
new age. Over time, the College has encompassed and become the voice of all
educators; we thus remember, celebrate and enter this continuing 'new age'
for the profession.
I will be abroad at the time to attend the PASCAL (Place Management, Social
Capital and Learning Regions) International Observatory conference on
Heritage, Regional Development and Social Cohesion.
PLEASE NOTE: All registrations go directly to the ACE National Office in
Canberra to Ms Laura Cheail, laurac at austcolled.com.au
Detailed registration form available from Laura.
With Best Wishes.

State Secretary
ACE Queensland Branch
This event will be Queensland wide, with A.C.E. Regions hosting their own
local occasion, linking to the live broadcast. Contact Laura Cheail for
details of local venues.
4) Announcing a new journal: Journal of Teaching and Learning for Graduate
Employability
Robin Quin, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education), at Curtin University of
Technology writes:
This is to let you now that we have launched a new journal: Journal of
Teaching and Learning for Graduate Employability. It is a peer-reviewed,
web-based journal. We have decided on continuous publication, ensuring that
papers have currency and authors are not faced with the long lead time
between acceptance and publication that characterises print-based journals.
As an e- journal it is available to anyone with access to the internet.
The Journal aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of research and
evidence- based practice in higher education teaching and learning for
graduate employability. Graduate employability is an issue of concern to
academics, career advisors, students and employers regardless of discipline
or profession. We see the Journal as a forum that will foster
interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, teacher scholars, careers
staff and industry and professional practitioners.
For information on the foci of the journal and instructions for authors
please visit the website:
http://otl.curtin.edu.au/scholarship_teaching_learning/jtlge.cfm.
We have launched the new journal with an article by Mantz Yorke. Professor
Yorke is a leading figure in the domain of graduate employability and
co-author with Peter Knight of Learning, Curriculum and Employability in
Higher Education (2003) and Assessment, Learning and Employability (2003).
Professor Yorke's work is responsible for a revolution in thinking about
graduate employability that sees it not simply as a set of skills but as a
fundamental aspect of good curriculum design.
