Symposium:

As a framework for living with cultural diversity, the ideal of multiculturalism has come under increasing attack in recent years both in Australia and overseas. In the last two years a subtle shift in policy and discourse has begun to take place, involving a greater emphasis on notions such as 'integration' and 'social cohesion'. This shift in debate comes at a time of increased concern in some circles over the ability of certain ethnic communities, especially Muslims, to integrate into Australian society, despite Australia's reputation as a nation committed to the notion of a 'fair go'. This symposium will provide a platform for informed debate on these current trends in Australian multiculturalism.

Prof Terry Lovat - Pro-Vice Chancellor, Education & Arts, Newcastle University
