Congratulations

Message from the Chancellor On behalf of the Deakin University community, my congratulations to you, your families, and to all who have worked so hard towards achieving the success we now celebrate with you.

Like you, I am a Deakin alumnus, and I believe you will find as I have, that your Deakin qualification will be a valuable asset as you explore the opportunities ahead of you. Your Deakin degree will empower you to search for new opportunities with the confidence you can contribute, with the knowledge you are ready, and the resilience that will enable you to overcome the inevitable challenges and unexpected setbacks.

Your graduation marks the completion of your current academic journey, but it also signals the start of a new phase of your lives and your careers.

2 Deakin University

Message from the Vice-Chancellor My sincere congratulations on your graduation from Deakin University.

While in this extraordinary year we cannot celebrate your graduation in the traditional way – a formal ceremony among family, friends and peers – we acknowledge your efforts, your sacrifices, and your success, and we welcome you to the Deakin alumni community. We should never underestimate the importance of a university journey, and the serious achievement of a student’s graduation.

I hope you have enjoyed your time at Deakin, met and collaborated with talented and passionate people, made friends, been challenged, formed new perspectives and knowledge, and developed new skills. A Deakin education is known for being innovative and inclusive and we want you to take these qualities into the world. The years ahead will require an open, flexible mind that can respond to change, and find and create opportunities.

We look forward to seeing where your Deakin degree takes you. Your learning did not begin with our University, and it does not end with your graduation. I urge you to continue to be curious and to seek solutions. It is this questing for greater expertise and deeper understandings that will shape the future, along with the personal qualities and values that Deakin holds dear: integrity, bravery, community responsibility and social justice, and respect for diversity and inclusivity.

Professor Iain Martin

Foster your ambition; have confidence in your talents and abilities and revel in each new experience.

Congratulations to each of you and to your families. I wish you well in your future endeavours, and I hope that one day, your career journey brings you back to Deakin as continuing students, as colleagues, as mentors, as supporters and as friends.

Professor Iain Martin

‘Kim barne barre Wadawurrung Dja’ Welcome to Wadawurrung Country Deakin University would like to acknowledge the Wadawurrung People, the traditional custodians of the land and the Wathaurong community where this graduation ceremony is taking place. We pay our respects for their continued care of the land and further extend that respect to elders past and present.

The University Mace Maces were originally medieval weapons carried by bodyguards to kings and sergeants-at-arms. Much later, the mace became of ceremonial rather than practical significance and organisations such as civic corporations and universities adopted the mace as a symbol of the rule of legal authority.

The University’s mace is displayed at meetings of the University Council and on such ceremonial occasions as conferring ceremonies. The bearer of the mace, in academic processions, ‘guards’ the Chancellor. Deakin’s mace was presented to the University by Mr Donald Thomson, Sir Wilfred Brookes and Mr Norman Stephen (Alcoa Australia).

Academic Dress

Academic dress is an important reminder of the long history of universities in western civilisation. The three main elements of academic dress are the gown, the hood and the head-dress, which were all once articles of everyday outer dress. Both gowns and hoods, when in common use, were often lined and this lining was decorative, as well as practical. In medieval times, the higher the rank of the wearer, the more sumptuous the gown.

In universities there is still a difference in the apparel of scholars of various ranks reflecting the origins of the academic dress. Today’s academic head-dress evolved from various hats and bonnets of earlier times. Deakin University’s academic dress, like that of most Australian universities, derives from dress worn at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

Deakin University Ceremonial Dress Chancellor – a navy blue gown trimmed with gold bullion braid, sleeves trimmed with four gold ornaments and gold bullion braid around the bottom hem, a navy blue bonnet lined with gold satin, with gold braid and two gold metallic tassels.

Vice-Chancellor and President – a navy blue gown with five bars of gold bullion braid on the sleeves and a navy blue tudor bonnet identical to that of the Chancellor.

Alfred Deakin Professor Academic staff who have been awarded the title Alfred Deakin Professor will wear academic regalia befitting their highest qualification as well as an Alfred Deakin Professor stole which will be worn over the top of the gown.

Deakin University Academic Dress Higher Doctorate – a red gown with gold silk front facings finishing at the front yoke line, sleeves fully lined with gold silk and turned back at the front seam, together with a red hood lined with gold silk and a red bonnet with gold tassels.

Doctor of Philosophy – a royal blue gown with red silk front facings finishing at the front yoke line, sleeves fully lined with red silk and turned back at the front seam, together with a royal blue hood lined with red silk and a royal blue bonnet with red tassels.

The University

Alfred Deakin Deakin University was named in honour of Alfred Deakin (1856–1919), a remarkable Australian statesman, leading figure of the federation movement and three-time Prime Minister of Australia.

Alfred Deakin was a man of broad vision. Praised as a political leader, he was an outstanding orator, accomplished lawyer, a journalist, poet, an intellectual and an idealist motivated by a sense of duty to his country.

The son of English migrants, Alfred Deakin was born and educated in Melbourne, studying law at the University of Melbourne. He embarked upon a career in journalism with The Age and was a prolific reader of literature, philosophy, law and science, earning most of his income as a writer of social and political commentaries.

In 1879, Alfred Deakin launched his political career and became a successful Liberal candidate for the Victorian Parliament. A believer in democratic social reform, he became the acknowledged leader of the Australian Federation movement in Victoria. He was an active campaigner, a delegate at the federal conventions, member of the constitutional drafting committee and colonial representative in London.

Alfred Deakin was Deputy Prime Minister and Attorney-General in Australia’s first government and, in 1903, he became Prime Minister. His many achievements include the establishment of the High Court of Australia, the introduction of labour and social reforms, the promulgation of new technologies such as irrigation and wireless telegraphy, support for the exploration of Antarctica and the introduction of financial support for Australian writers.

Alfred Deakin

The values of innovation, leadership, scholarship and reform embodied in Alfred Deakin are also fundamental values of Deakin University.

About Deakin University Deakin University is one of Australia’s largest universities. As a public not-for- profit university, Deakin combines excellent research and teaching and focuses on strengthening the communities it serves.

The University was established with the Deakin University Act of 1974 as Victoria’s fourth university and the first in regional Victoria. Today it has over 61,000 students, of whom 14,000 are international students from over 100 countries. Almost 17,000 students choose to study online.

Deakin University has five campuses – one in Melbourne, two in Geelong, one in Warrnambool and the online Cloud Campus.

In addition, Deakin has prestigious multipurpose facilities in Melbourne and Geelong and international offices in India, Sri Lanka, China, Indonesia, Europe, Malaysia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Singapore and Latin America.

16 Deakin University

By any measure, Deakin is a most successful university that has enjoyed extraordinary growth in the last ten years. Deakin has a student-focused culture with a well-deserved reputation for student satisfaction and for being accessible, helpful and friendly.

Deakin is renowned for developing award-winning partnerships with industry, governments, communities, professional associations and other education providers. Building on successes across Australia, these alliances now spread to more than 30 countries. Deakin’s alumni networks also stretch across the globe, with more than 275,000 members.

Building on the University’s success Deakin University’s Strategic Plan – LIVE the future: Agenda 2020 – has provided a bold framework, while remaining true to the University’s founding goals:

• to develop lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with rural and regional communities, in particular those in Geelong and Western Victoria

• to offer an educational experience that will widen participation and support students from diverse backgrounds.

These important aims continue to be core to the future of Deakin University. However, in a world that is now globally connected and where excellence and new ideas are available at the touch of a button, we will ensure that engagement and innovation ‘anywhere’ and ‘everywhere we are’ is grounded in all aspects of Deakin life – its teaching, its research and its enterprise – to enable our students and staff to thrive and to excel.

The University’s vision and mission for its students, staff, alumni, partners and friends is to offer personalised experience with premium digital engagement, creating the power and opportunities to live in a connected and evolving world. Deakin is Australia’s premier university in driving the digital frontier – enabling globally-connected education for the jobs of the future and research that makes a difference to the communities we serve.

Informed by its Australian context and engaged locally in the communities it serves, Deakin promises to advance:

• learning – offer brilliant education where you are and where you want to go

• ideas – make a difference through world-class innovation and research

• value – strengthen our communities, enable our partners and enhance our enterprise

• experience – delight our students, our alumni, our staff and our friends.

For all these reasons, Deakin University occupies an important place in the Australian higher education landscape.

The Campuses

Deakin is a large university with all the accompanying resources and infrastructure, but its campuses are small enough to retain their own character and sense of community. Each of our campuses offers a unique atmosphere – from the inspiring architecture and bayside appeal of our Geelong Waterfront Campus, to the cafe culture of our Melbourne Burwood Campus, the spectacular coastal location at our Warrnambool Campus or the mix of activity and open space at our Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus.

Melbourne Burwood Campus This thriving campus is Deakin’s largest. Located 15km from the Melbourne CBD, it boasts open and inviting spaces for socialising and studying, innovative architecture and wireless locations. An ambitious building program has resulted in a new complex of spacious modern buildings, including the gateway building situated on Burwood Highway and the state-of-the-art Indoor Exercise and Sport Science Teaching Building, completed in 2019. Refurbishment of older buildings, a library extension, expansion of residential accommodation, a 250-seat lecture theatre and a large landscaped central courtyard have all created a campus that is well-resourced and well-designed. The campus is home to the Deakin University Art Gallery and the Deakin Motion.Lab, a state-of-the-art motion capture facility that produces 3D animation and special effects, similar to those used in films such as Avatar and The Lord of the Rings.

Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus Deakin’s Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus is located 8km from the centre of the historic port city of Geelong, which is 72km south-west of Melbourne. Geelong is Victoria’s largest regional city with a population close to 225,000.

Set among extensive landscaped grounds, the Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus boasts hectares of native trees, grassy lawns, lakes and avenues. There are many specialist facilities at this campus, including an outstandingly resourced library, audiovisual production studios, research laboratories and an extensive computer centre.

Summary Hegemonic Narratives and Resilient Minorities. This research looked at how the politicisation of heritage and archaeology impacts minority Muslims in post-war Sri Lanka. It used the lens of cultural hegemony and resilience to frame the entanglements of heritage, identity and belonging.
