In this #whisperfest2020 session, Inger Mewburn (@thesiswhisperer) talks with Tamson Pietsch about how to (re)imagine the future of the university by reflecting on its past. Tamson is an expert in the past university, particularly the British academic networks and practices from 1850 - 1939 (see her amazing book <a href="https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9780719085024/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">&#x27;Empire of Scholars&#x27;</a>). As a historian, Tamson keeps a keen eye on the present and the future and has just finished doing a podcast series called &#x27;The New Social Contract&#x27; where she thinks through the issues with a list of interesting guests. In this &#x27;zoom fireside chat&#x27; Tamson will share her insights on the future of the academy with Inger Mewburn (@thesiswhisperer).Zoom details: <a href="https://anu.zoom.us/j/99979917764?pwd=M0g0b0hOZmxRKzI4amdMQi9uc0hXQT09" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://anu.zoom.us/j/99979917764?pwd=M0g0b0hOZmxRKzI4amdMQi9uc0hXQT09</a>Meeting ID: 999 7991 7764Password: 2602<ul><li><a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Re-imagining+the+future+university%3A+hope+amid+Covid+and+climate+change%3F&amp;iso=20201124T18&amp;p1=152&amp;ah=1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Check the session time in your location! </a></li></ul>
