In 2007 the School of Communication at UniSA celebrated the 30th anniversary of the accreditation of the first Australian BA degree in Communications in 1977. As part of our celebrations we were proud to host the CSAA Annual conference and invited attendees to consider what the future holds for cultural research; in particular, how can we better contribute to the pressing debates of our time about environmental and social sustainability? Therefore, some of the key issues considered at this conference included:
- sustaining cultural diversity
- culture and a sustainable environment
- sustaining healthy societies
- sources of sustenance
- planning sustainable spaces
- social and cultural inclusion and reconciliation
- next generation sustainability
- sustaining cultural research
