Faculty of Arts Public Lecture Series
Monash Faculty of Arts public lecture series features leading public intellectuals, scholars and writers from around the world.
Introducing the series at the inaugural lecture in April 2007, Professor Rae Frances, Dean of Arts said, “Monash is Australia’s most international university… we have a strong and proud record of community outreach. The idea behind this lecture series is that we build bridges, to the wider community and throughout the world, across disciplines and across cultural institutions… The series will showcase the work of leading public intellectuals, scholars and writers and address issues of key importance to contemporary society. This series complements the many seminars and public lectures hosted by individual programs and centres within the Faculty of Arts.”
