About this listen

Covid-19 has torn at the fabric of our higher education institutions but were the threads of that fabric already wearing thin?

In episode two of The New Social Contract we discuss the context of the crisis - what are the challenges and how did we get here?

Is the pandemic likely to force a reckoning with online education and why does the closure of the country's borders have such a profound impact on Australian universities?

This podcast is hosted by Associate Professor Tamson Pietsch and produced by Impact Studios at the University of Technology Sydney.

With thanks to episode two guests:

Tim Dodd - Higher Education Editor, The Australian

Dr Gwilym Croucher, Senior Lecturer in Higher Education Policy and Management at Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE), University of Melbourne.
