Anthropology: Reconfiguring a Janus face in a global epoch

The profound social transformations within Australia and globally in the last decade or so have had enormous effects on how knowledge is produced within and beyond the academy. Although we might be wary of the breathless celebration which accompanies some of the grander narratives of globalisation, there is no doubt that the character and velocity of international connections has changed simultaneously with the greater accumulation of knowledge, wealth and power, and with the heightened potential for the rapid and pervasive circulation of ideas through the electronic technologies of textual and visual media and the internet. This influences researchers in all fields across the sciences, arts and humanities and social sciences, and poses new challenges for all of us as to the purpose of our knowledge creation and how we can best educate others in our chosen fields. This has an effect on all teachers — in schools, colleges and universities — but perhaps most critically in educating graduate scholars who might lead the next generation in the creation of knowledge in the academy, the public sphere and the private sector.
