New staff members

Over the last couple of weeks we have been pleased to welcome three new staff to the Institute: a new Institute Manager, Terry Fairclough, and two Career Development Fellows, Dr Elizabeth Strakosch and Dr Shanthi Robertson.

We have also bid farewell to previous Institute Manager Lisa Hanlon, who has moved to the position of Course Quality Officer (Arts) in the Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education).

All the best to our three new staff, and to Lisa in her new role!

The Institute for Culture and Society is located in Parramatta, “the place where the eel sets down” in Dharug language,
along the north bank of the Parramatta River. It sits on the traditional lands and waters of the Burramattagal people of the Dharug Nation,
who have been stewards and caretakers of these territories since time immemorial, in what today is referred to as Greater Western Sydney,
one of the most diverse cultural communities in the world and home to the largest number of Indigenous Australians in the country.
The Institute for Culture and Society acknowledges the Dharug, Eora, Dharawal (also referred to as Tharawal)
and Wiradjuri peoples as traditional custodians and Indigenous knowledge-holders, whose storytelling serve
as historical record, a form of teaching and learning, a way to care for Country,
and an expression of Indigenous culture and identity.
