The Australian Academy of the Humanities has been awarded a grant by the Australian Research Council under the Linkage Learned Academies Special Projects Programme to review current activity and likely trends in teaching and research across the academic humanities in Australia.
The current study will chart the disposition and trends of the humanities sector in Australia, including student enrolments and likely career paths, the academic workforce and its changing demographic, regional and institutional concentrations, disciplinary strengths, and perceptions of current and emerging academic workforce need.
The knowledge achieved will assist universities, government, policymakers, industry, and the community to understand the current and future capacities of humanities teaching, research and scholarship in Australia, and will better inform decisions about developing academic capability in light of areas of identified emergent need.
