Hello to all our special Social Change Agents! Since we recently launched our Associates directory, we’ve been honoured to receive many supportive messages, including the following from the highly esteemed Raewyn Connell. Sign up for more good news in our first ‘official’ newsletter on Monday 4 April.
“I am happy to support the Associates group set up by Social Change Agency. Since the arrival of the ‘new public management’ there has been a decline in research capacity and organisational memory in the public sector. Education is no exception. With outsourcing, some poor quality research and advising has filled the vacuum. It has become important to have good quality consultancy available. This group offers experience and serious educational thought, and includes some of the best educational researchers in the country.”
Raewyn Connell, Professor Emerita, University of Sydney
