“Languages & Cultures studies have given me the confidence to engage beyond the textbook; to understand how history creates values, how philosophy shapes behaviour & how culture shapes everyday interactions.’’ Current student of Chinese Studies, Scarlett Lawton.
“Education is more than training for a future job. At its core, education is about formation, the formation of judgement, of imagination, the formation of empathy. It is about becoming more fully human.” Former Head of School, Professor Yixu Lu.
“As we reflect on 25 years of scholarship, pedagogy, and partnership, we recognise that languages and cultures are not merely subjects of study, but are pathways to understanding, tools for transformation, and foundations for a more connected world." Head of School, Professor Avril Alba.
The School of Languages and Cultures @sydney.edu.au celebrated 25 years with lively a gathering of past and present staff, alumni, donors and friends.
