Patrick Gorman, the former Curtin Student Guild President and current MP, will discuss building a fairer society on the evening of Thursday 20 May at Curtin University. Patrick is Shadow Assistance Minister for Western Australia and Federal Member for Perth. Patrick will discuss the topic of fairness in democratic governance. The event is being hosted by the Discipline of History, International Relations, Sociology & Anthropology in Curtin University's School of Media, Creative Arts & Social Inquiry.

Patrick is a long-standing supporter of democratic governance of universities through his work in student guilds and in federal politics. I recall giving a talk last July from the steps of Parliament House with Patrick Gorman, NTEU President Richard Hamilton and other inspiring figures at the Hands Off Our Education rally organized by the Student Guilds of Western Australia. Go student guilds!

    This page was created to share ideas on rebuilding universities for communities in Western Australia.

    The header image shows a  construction site at my campus before the glass ceiling collapsed killing a young worker and injuring two others. Social and union pressure around this incident led to Western Australia's Legislative Council passing the Work safety bill in the days that followed. While waiting for the bill to become law, the image reminds me of the ongoing lack of legal protection for workers in a culture dominated by managerialism and corporate ambition.

    A turn is needed towards transparency, empathy and democracy in building universities.
