How universities will contribute to major events of 2021
University of Sydney Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Duncan Ivison discusses how universities will contribute to the major themes of 2021 – from COVID to climate.
If 2020 proved anything, it’s that you need to have deep wells of social, economic, political and cultural resilience to deal with the extraordinary times we are living in.
In Australia, the year began with devastating bushfires, intensified by the effects of climate change on our fragile continent (with flooding followed not long after). Then came the emergence of COVID-19 and the impact of a full-blown pandemic – border shutdowns, no travel (including for our own international students) and lockdowns – resulting in the government having to introduce some of the largest economic and social aid programs since the Great Depression. We also saw the deepening of geo-security competition between China and the U.S. – with complicated consequences for Australia – as well as profound political shifts in the Indo-Pacific as a result. And we witnessed a deeply divisive U.S. election, preceded by mass protests over racial injustice and inequality, culminating in an astonishing attack on the U.S. Capitol building by disenchanted supporters of President Trump.
