History

Each year the ABC Board invites a prominent Australian to present six radio lectures expressing their thoughts on major social, cultural, scientific or political issues. In 2010 Professor Glyn Davis presents the 51st Boyer Lecture series, titled 'The Republic of Learning: Higher Education Transforms Australia'. The lectures explore Australia's higher education landscape, revealing an experience sharply at odds with traditional images of sleepy cloisters and ivory towers.
