At the close of 2018 the University of Wollongong partnered with the Ramsay Centre to create a unique degree that focuses on the study of the great works of Western civilisation. In early 2019, I assumed leadership of the School of Liberal Arts with oversight of its flagship BA in Western Civilisation degree.
At the start of 2020, our School is fully operational: it is populated with outstanding staff and students and concretely established with a suite of exciting new subjects. Yet, just as our unique intellectual enterprise launched, the entire world is confronted with one of its greatest challenges – one of the greatest challenges we will face in the 21st century. The continued threat of Covid-19 requires us to drastically adjust our familiar ways of living and learning.
What does this mean for School’s study of great works of philosophy, art, literature, religion and science?
Through occasional blog posts, I will share best practice and supply updates on the School’s various initiatives in my capacity as Head of School. In addition, I will offer my philosophical musings and reflections on these initiatives. Our staff, students and other special guests may be invited to do likewise.
Excellent article. I really appreciate the way you have explained the things in your post. Keep posting.
