Getting students to attend large-group teaching sessions and keeping them engaged throughout is a particular challenge. To achieve these goals for introductory Pathology courses for Medical Science and Exercise Physiology students (PATH2201/2202), we introduced a blended approach to learning, with overview lectures supported by online modules. We also developed large-group feedback/integration sessions which featured in-class questions to which students could respond using mobile devices.

It has become a cliché to say the internet has changed sex, and it is certainly an understatement. As digital technologies have opened up new possibilities for finding sex and love, so too are they demanding new ways of thinking about how we do research. While presenting new conceptual and methodological challenges, the textual, archival and public nature of online spaces have actually enhanced our ability to research sex.

As the big four – Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon – get bigger, they consume more and more of our attention. Privacy, contemplation and autonomous thought are just some of the casualties.

Homelessness in wealthy cities is such an extreme form of inequality that it is often easier to ignore it than show empathy. Andres Serrano’s giant portraits from his ‘Residents of New York’ and ‘Denizens of Brussels’ series make it impossible to turn away from his homeless subjects. Join us for a conversation about his work at a time when Australia is dealing with its own homeless crisis.
