TEACHING OPPORTUNITIES EXPO

Students from the School of Education and the Institute of Early Childhood flocked to the Teaching Opportunities Expo held recently at the University. The Expo organised by the Career Development Office provided students with an opportunity to meet informally with exhibitors seeking to recruit for graduate positions in Australia and the UK.

For the 255 students who came to the Expo, the highlight of the day was the presence of the Catholic Education Office who promoted graduate and casual vacancies. The CEO’s presence is of particular note, as it is the first time they have come to Macquarie to recruit students and follow through with on campus interviews with successful applicants.

The Expo was designed to run in conjunction with the Professional Issues elective unit, TEP 389.  The Career Development Office thanks the teaching staff of the unit as well as academic staff from the teaching departments who worked closely to organise and promote the event.

MATHEMATICS: THE BEAUTY AND THE POWER

Why should the study of heat flow lead to the development of mathematical concepts that help in transmitting movies over the Web? Does the natural beauty of mathematics lead to such powerful interconnections?

Australian mathematician Professor Alan McIntosh will attempt to answer these questions when he presents the 2002 Moyal Lecture titled Mathematics: the Beauty and the Power  in Theatre E6A 102 on Friday 11 October.

Professor McIntosh, of the Centre for Mathematics and its Application at the Australian National University, will also be presented with the 2002 Moyal Medal by Emeritus Professor John Loxton, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) in recognition of his contributions to research in mathematics, in particular his fundamental work in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations.

"Harmonic analysis is hardly a household term, but its applications couldn't be more familiar," Professor McIntosh says. "Earthquake detection, brain tumour mapping and the transmission of information over the Internet all depend on this field of mathematical study. Harmonic analysis is the study of waves. Radio signals, sound waves, waves on a pond, can all be investigated in terms of their harmonic frequencies.”

  MACQUARIE IN THE MEDIA 

MQ CHANNEL

  MACQUARIE RESEARCH LTD

Knowledge Commercialisation Australia, formerly known as ATICCA, supported by the Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training is organising the Australian Knowledge Commercialisation Forum & Fair of Ideas from 26 to 28 March 2003 at Darling Harbour in Sydney

The overall objective of the Forum & Fair is to create a greater understanding of the pathways to commercialisation and to showcase these outcomes from the Australian publicly funded research sector.

The Fair hopes to  maximise participation by existing and potential KCA members from the research supply sector and match investors in an open market environment.

It is anticipated that the Fair will also demonstrate the quality and range of the opportunities arising from the public research sector and highlight the critical role that KCA members play in the commercialisation process.

A compendium of current opportunities from the public research sector will be published and later distributed.

This will be a unique networking opportunity for researchers, commercialisation professionals, business service suppliers and investors

The Forum component of the event will engage and influence top-level decision makers and generate input into policy that will have a positive impact on improving the research commercialisation environment in Australia.

The aim is to create an ongoing core activity and focus for KCA that will build its credibility and capacity to extend its professional development services to a growing membership.

Additionally, the Professional Development Day will address key needs defined by commercialisation managers.

  CONFERENCES 

Call for Papers

On 24 to 25 April 2003, the Department of Sociology at Macquarie University and the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Queensland will be hosting a one and a half day Social Science symposium called Building the E-Nation. 

The symposium will bring together a variety of disciplines within the social sciences from around Australasia to empirically and theoretically examine the issues concerning the internet, and new information and communication technologies (ICTs). 

We seek empirical and theoretical contributions from scholars who are investigating the implications of e-community, e-government and e-commerce in the Australian context. While most papers should focus on internet technologies, papers dealing with other new ICTs are also welcome.
The three main presentation and dialogue sessions will be structured around the following concerns:

E-community 

• In what ways are ICTs being introduced into communities and for what purpose are they being used? 
• How does the use of the internet reconfigure ideas and notions of community? For example, in terms of space, and the dichotomy of reality and virtuality? 
• How are ICTs reconfiguring social relations and the experience of gender, age, race, disability and class? 
• In what ways are ICTs linked with aspirations and experiences of civil participation, the leisure/work interplay, religion and spirituality, subjectivity and meaning, social activism?

E-government 

• In what ways are ICTs reconfiguring rationalities and practices of government, including the nature of government service delivery, practices of control and surveillance, the achievement of participatory democracy, forms of government accountability and the nature of the state? 
• What does it mean to be governed in a network society? 
• To what governmental purposes are ICTs being enrolled? 
• What are the public policy issues that ICTs give rise to? 
• What roles do ICTs play in governmental concerns of security, policing, border protection, taxation, war and the like? 
• In what way are new ICTs changing political engagement and the activity of politics?

E-commerce

• In what ways are businesses adopting ICTs and for what purposes? 
• How does the use of ICTs reconfigure exchange relations and the nature of money? 
• What is the experience of the work/leisure relationship in the network society? 
• What do ICTs contribute to marketing practices and the capacity to govern the consumer? 
• Does e-commerce represent enhanced consumer technologies, or simply a means to downscale services for low-profit areas? 
• What are the differential effects of e-commerce on various members and sectors of society? 
• How are ICTs being incorporated into stories of economic globalisation?

Expressions of interest by a short 200 word abstract: 31 October 2002.

Extended abstracts (1500-2000 words) for selected papers: 28 February 2003.

Final papers: 30 March 2003.
