2020 - Symposium
National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia (NAEEA) hosted a 2-day free On-line Symposium on 11th and 12th December 2020. Facilitated by Dr Sarah Hattam and Dr Anthea Fudge (University of South Australia).
This event provided the opportunity for a collective ‘sigh’ as we come to the end of a tumultuous 2020 that impacted our sector in a multitude of ways.
Across the two-days, we considered: What is the future of enabling education in Australia?
In the spirit of Q & A, our symposium featured 4 panel sessions. Each was hosted by experts, friends and champions of equity in higher education.
