ItemThe attractiveness of the Australian academic profession: a comparative analysisCOATES, HAMISH ; Dobson, Ian ; EDWARDS, DANIEL ; Friedman, Tim ; GOEDEGEBUURE, LEO ; Meek, Lynn (LH Martin Institute, University of Melbourne & Australian Council for Educational Research & Educational Policy Institute, [2009])This briefing provides an analysis of challenges facing the sustainability and development of the academic workforce in Australia. It draws together insights from national statistics collections and a number of recent studies, sheds light on current characteristics of the academic profession, and identifies key problem areas. From a review of the evidence, we argue that now is the time for both policy action at the national and institutional level to address these problems, and for further research that can inform workforce planning and development in the years to come.

ItemInternational dimensions of the Australian academic professionGOEDEGEBUURE, LEO ; COATES, HAMISH ; Van Der Lee, Jeannet ; Meek, Lynn (Research Institute for Higher Education, Hiroshima University, 2009)This paper provides insight into the international dimensions of the Australian academic profession. Australia has one of the most internationalised higher education student populations in the world, which leads us naturally to inquire into the international characteristics of its academic staff. It is important to consider, for instance, whether the academic workforce has internationalised in the same way as the student body, and how academic staff are responding educationally to various opportunities and challenges arising from internationalisation.
