Today is my last day as President @HumanitiesAU. It has been an honour to serve in the role. Warm thanks to the Secretariat, Council and Fellows for their support and hard work.
We look forward to the Annual Academy Lecture by Academy President @ProfLesleyHead this evening, held in the beautiful Elisabeth Murdoch Building at @UniMelb from 5:30pm. See you soon!

Our region is changing, and we know less about it than we did 20 years ago. Read the deep dive by Prof Peter Varghese and Prof @josephlobianco for some ways we might remedy this trend and get to know China and our Asian neighbours.
