Abstract
It is noteworthy how far we have come in defining and shaping a concept of engagement. Universities in Australia are helping to build the future, in partnership with others across the globe also, as part of a new economic and social order. The scope of issues and themes they are dealing with is literally breathtaking. From the intellectual issues of a post-truth world to cities and communities of future Australia and from action strategies for economic development to the meaning of civic life—there are insightful and hopefully controversial and stimulating debates and ideas put before those involved in university engagement … and the general public. Ideas tested in healthy and open debate and put into the public domain are the lifeblood of democratic engagement. Engagement Australia has been immersed in this culture of debate and challenge.
