Description
What can we learn about learning?
Australians have one of the highest levels of educational attainment in the world, but not every Australian has access to a world-class education. What represents a 'good' education in a country with an increasingly segmented school system and a tertiary sector that faces profound uncertainties, both financial and existential?
Griffith Review 75: Learning Curves explores the full spectrum of educational experiences - from preschool to postgrad, from private to public, and from sandstone to the school of life.
How has the global information age reshaped our knowledge institutions? What potential and possibilities lie in embracing Australia's vast repositories of First Nations' knowledge? Are traditional subjects - arts, humanities, social sciences - still relevant in an increasingly contested field? And what do those engaged in the different aspects of learning - students, teachers, policymakers - make of their experiences?
Learning Curves navigates a range of life-long learning pathways and explores the necessity of rupture and transformation along the way.

'Where the news cycle tends to feed cynicism, Griffith Review is the necessary counterpoint: a place of ideas and possibility. It's a relief to find the quality writing, reflection and observation nurtured in its pages.' - Billy Griffiths, historian and writer

Griffith Review 79: Counterfeit Culture
'A faker,' said Orson Welles, 'makes fools of the experts. So, who's the expert? Who's the faker?' Griffith Review 79 lifts the curtain on fakes, frauds and forgeries. Treading the tightrope between art and lies, it explores the appeal of stories, objects, bodies or experiences that offer the false promise of authenticity.

Griffith Review 81: The Leisure Principle
In 1930, John Maynard Keynes spelt out a vision of the impending utopia. Work, he said, will become a thing of the past.

Griffith Review 84: Attachment Styles
The attachments we form shape our experience of the world and our understanding of who we are.

Griffith Review 92: Lost and Found
Loss, wrote Marcus Aurelius, 'is nothing else but change'. We lose face, lose time, lose heart, lose touch, lose ground, lose our keys (often); we can lose the things that hold us back or weigh us down, just as we can lose the people and places we love most.

Griffith Review 91: On The Money
Money talks but it doesn't always speak the truth. It's also far more than a medium of exchange and a store of value: money is a status symbol, a friendship destroyer, an opportunity creator, a psychological blocker, an obsession, a dream, a curse, an albatross and an elephant in the room.
