Without the pedigree of age, Griffith set out from the start to be different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews with over 150 staff and students, as well as wide-ranging documentary sources, Patrick Weller investigates what the university as an institution stands for: its goals, its activities, its values and its considerable achievements. He considers how its early ambitions have influenced its development, and how it has evolved over its first five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoing Things Differently\u003c\/em\u003e includes snapshots of the work of outstanding members of the Griffith community and insights into teaching, research, extra-curricular activities and governance.
