!!! The 7 Essential Arts - Suggestions for an Alternative University Educatio...Gudrun Dreher
The following slides are meant as an invitation to discuss a new model of education that has been designed to teach young adults to think creatively and holistically and to encourage them to apply their newly acquired insights and skills to help solve existing global problems and make a positive difference in the world.
The first part of my contribution tries to IDENTIFY what I think of as the main flaws of the current North American university education. My observations in this section are based on my personal teaching experience at two North American Universities, UBC and FDU Vancouver, but are, I believe, representative for many other educational institutions, both in North America and elsewhere.
In the second part I present a model of university education that is meant to counteract the flaws identified in part one and thus to TRANSFORM the current education system to make it more meaningful for the students who participate in it as well as beneficial for their communities and, ultimately, for the rest of the world.
What I hope to accomplish by presenting my model at this point are the following three objectives: 1) to participate in the current dialogue about alternative models of university education and the role these models can play in helping solve as many of our current global problems as possible, 2) to get as much concrete feedback about my suggested model as possible, and 3) to find some people who are interested in helping me test my alternative university – in the form of a pilot project – in reality.
Once the model has been tested at one place – and proven to be successful – it can be GLOBALIZED and introduced in other parts of the world as well. For although I have primarily developed this model for North America, I think it can be used everywhere – of course with some adjustments to the specific cultural and local conditions – in order to help create more happiness, health, peace, and sustainability all over the world.

Implementing Multicultural Ethics:
Issues for Family Counselors
C. Bret Hendricks1, Loretta J. Bradley1, and Derek L. Robertson2
Abstract
This article addresses the need for family counselors to examine the application of new constructs to counseling ethics training.
The authors believe that current ethics training is deficient in integrating high-level cognitive decision models and multicultural
constructs. The authors challenge family counselors to expand their cultural perspectives in ethical decision making and cease
ethics training that is inadequate to meet the needs of a diverse society.
Keywords

Case Study
‘‘Uh oh,’’ Elaine Miller exclaimed. Elaine, a family counselor
in a large southern city, is having lunch with her friend, Paula,
also a family counselor. ‘‘Paula, I honestly thought that I had
done the ethics training for this license renewal, then I remem-
bered I wasn’t feeling well when we had the training with the
local group,’’ Elaine explains. ‘‘Well,’’ Paula says with a dis-
missive hand wave, ‘‘They went through the new state require-
ments. Otherwise, you didn’t miss much. Just the same old
stuff.’’ Paula described the training, explaining that the trainers
provided updates regarding new state requirements for docu-
mentation and informed consent. She concluded by reassuring
Elaine, ‘‘You can get that stuff from the website.’’ Elaine
sighed and glanced over her shoulder. Then, looking at Paula
in a conspiratorial manner, she said, ‘‘You know, I think I
might have ‘gotten sick’ on purpose just to not have to go to the
same boring training again. I just hate having to go and listen to
stuff that I can look up myself. These trainings are just excru-
ciating.’’ Sighing again, she went on to say, ‘‘The only good
thing about ethics training is being able to see my friends,
because I never really hear anything that helps me.’’ She
relaxes a bit, nods to herself and tells Paula, ‘‘I’ll just find
something on-line and get it done tonight. That’s easier any-
way.’’ ‘‘Now, I have a real ethics question for you, Paula.’’
I have this case that I just don’t get. I am so stressed about this case.
Maybe you can help me. You see, I’m seeing a family from Paki-
stan and they have all their relatives living with them. The hus-
band’s parents don’t ever leave the house; they just sit there and
tell everyone what to do. The whole family just revolves around
any little thing that the grandparents want. Also, the parents don’t
allow their kids to do anything because the grandparents want the
kids home from school immediately. I know that I need to work
with the whole family, I just don’t know how to do it and really
help them.
Every family counselor is confronted with questions that
challenge his or her ethical beliefs; questions that are not
answered in simple dichotomous terms of right/wrong. More-

Cultural Journeys in Higher Education
Jan Bamford and Lucie Pollard
Published: Emerald 2019
Description:
The cultural diversity of university student populations can be seen to reflect the changing demographics of an increasingly international mobile workforce. The implications of the growing migrant population and differing communication patterns in the classroom is a highly under-researched area. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education provides a unique insight into the cultural experiences of university recounted through the students' narratives and voices.
This book explores the increasingly culturally diverse composition of the student body and its impact on student learning. The need to negotiate differing cultural scripts and adapting to the new cultural landscape when students arrive at university are just a few of the experiences addressed within this important text. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education navigates the issue of curriculum delivery through the eyes of those who receive the education and questions whether a new approach is needed to adapt to an increasingly culturally diverse student body.
The student experience is a central focus of this book, giving researchers, practitioners and leaders in education a unique perspective that will enable them to further understand the cultural framework that underpins Higher Education.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. “the belief that one is
inherently deserving of
privileges or special
treatment.”
“students are coming to
campus with perspectives and
egos that have been shaped
by overindulgent parents,
technology, social media, the
Internet, and disposable
income.” (Fullerton, 2013,
p31)
3.
4. ‘… students’ feelings
of being accepted,
included by and
connected to their
institutions.’ (Ahn &
Davis, 2019)
5. ‘a complex, multi-layered concept with many
facets of perception’
(Marshall, Zhou, Gervan, & Wiebe, 2012, p. 135).
6. 1. The ways in which ‘sense of belonging’ is socially structured –
‘Habitus’, ‘field’, ‘feel for the game’ (Bourdieu)
2. What practices of belonging are recognised and validated within
institutional discourses?
3. Who is allowed or enabled to feel like higher education is an
entitlement or a right and who is not?
7. ‘A deeper understanding of the emotional geographies of universities
can benefit the widening participation project by facilitating and
supporting belonging and engagement for under-represented
students. Exploring some of the ways geographies of university can
alienate and invite engagement and participation for diverse students
can be beneficial in increasing equitable access to high education.’
(Hook, 2016)
8. For the purposes of this research, first
in family status has been defined as:
No one in the immediate family of
origin including siblings, children,
partners or parents having
previously attended a higher
education institution or having
completed a university degree.
9. Most recent statistics
indicate that FiF students
consider leaving
university in their first year
at higher rates (20.2%)
than non-FiF commencing
students (18.5%) (QILT
SES: 2018)
FiF Non FiF
Total considering
leaving**
7617 20.2% 10061 18.5%
Total respondents 37736 54493
10.
11. Beginning FiF students reported ‘… feeling isolated and lonely,
feelings that were exacerbated by uncertainty related to university
language, expectations and protocols of behavior’ (O’Shea, 2016,
p.62).
First-in-family older female participants reflected upon university
attendance in terms of ‘fragility’, a desire that had been kept hidden
for fear of criticism or negative reactions (O’Shea, 2015, p.9).
Overwhelmingly, the literature portrays these students as a ‘group at
risk’ (Spiegler & Bednarek, 2013, p.329)
12.
13. Invisible boundaries that existed both in the mindsets of the
learners as well as those external to them, creating limitations
around their options or choices:
‘… I think it’s just from our family background — you’re supposed to
be... your life is about your job and how much you earn and what
assets you own…’
(Paz, 43)
‘I just didn’t do it because there was not much pressure to... “No,
university is no good. You just read books” and the whole family is
dead against it; “Get a proper job” — they didn’t even like me doing
Year 11, like, “No, get a job. Everyone else got a job. Why can’t
you?” But I’d say to myself now, “Just do it. Don’t listen. Just do it”.’
(Aaron, 47)
14. Not having ready access to someone who had previously
attended university meant that learners variously relied upon
friends, work colleagues or popular culture when they
‘imagined’ university.
‘it was a bit of a heavier workload than I thought because, you know,
you see movies and uni’s just like partying...’(Ellen, 19)
‘I thought it was going to be like what you see on the movies like frat
parties every night and just like party central…’ (Nicole, 21)
15. Expectations were sometimes based on myths
I was really scared because a few people, like some of my old
babysitters and a few people that I live around, they all said that, you
know, “You think the HSC [High School Certificate] is hard; wait till
you get to uni. You’d have to do that whole two years in 12 weeks”.
(Nicole, 21)
16.
17. Feeling out of place (fraud or imposter)
‘… when you’re first in the family so you don't have those kind of
conversations at home where you can just ask in the safety of your
home...’ (Abbey, 22)
‘… when I first got here I had no clue where anything was. I think I
turned up to every single one of my classes late. Now it’s pretty
good; I know my way around. I struggled to get here actually…’
(Emily, 18)
18. Lacking confidence in abilities which can translate into a lack of
entitlement to be at university
(Thomas & Quinn, 2007, p.77).
‘Probably the first semester I passed law, cos I guess I kind of felt like
I was a legitimate uni student then’.
(Ashleigh, 21)
‘I was like, “Maybe I shouldn’t be here, maybe I’m just a fraud”. I was
like “Oh my God”.’
(Rose, 28)
19. Thomas and Quinn (2007) concluded that for FiF students in their
study:
‘Establishing a level of social “fit” proved to be problematic’ (p.92).
Lack of ‘fit’ argued to lead to frustration and isolation during transition
to HE (Cushman, 2007) and in some cases this disenfranchisement
leads to thoughts of early departure or limited engagement.
‘… structural influences …operate to maintain hierarchies of
distinction and differentiation within the field of higher education’
(Reay et al., 2001, p.862).

attend university, and in the latter stages of an undergraduate degree
— so just about to graduate.
22. Criteria for involvement: students be first in their immediate family to
graduate university, as well as stakeholders involved in research,
support or scholarship in the graduate field

23. • Highly intersected
• Lengthy and interrupted educational trajectories
• Variable previous education
• A larger proportion of older students — also due to the fact that
interviews / surveys occurred at the end of their studies or after
graduation.
24. When you are relatively consistently told that with your demographic,
your background, you’re specifically more likely to fail, it sort of sets up
that whole culture of low expectations. (Bailie, 27, Arts, 3rd Year)
When I first started uni … I felt like the lesser person in my friends at uni
because all of them they had either siblings that were at uni at the time
and so they had people to meet up with and they just knew all the stuff
about uni that I just was like, “How do you even...? Like what is a quad,
what are these student things like the week before uni starts?” I had no
idea half the things existed so I was always like... I was really confused
about what the norms were at uni but everyone else seemed to just
know what to do. (Fiona, 24, Medicine, Final Year )
when I first went to university, I felt like I was the most under-educated,
disadvantaged person there, I felt a bit embarrassed about that and I
have since learned that I’m actually one of the most resourceful,
intelligent people there. (Isabel, 28, Nursing, Final Year)
25. According to Bourdieu (1984) when existing
cultural capital does not match that expected
at university it is a form of ‘symbolic violence’.
Little insight into the rules and norms that govern university:
I think that because there are just some skills that you need to
have to be here or a language that you need to have.
(Yvette, 45)
26. Saturation of some fields which
makes it difficult to secure ongoing
and/or full-time employment:
• Australian graduates remain
unemployed in the short and
medium term; QILT (2018)
indicates 13 per cent of
respondents (n=120,564), or a
total of 15,673 graduates.
27. • In 2018, graduates from high-SES locations performed better in
all employment areas (QILT, 2019).
• 74.9 % of graduates from high-SES locations were employed
full-time, compared with 69.8 per cent in low-SES locations
(QILT, 2019).
• More were also employed 88.1 per cent compared to 84.7 per
cent for those in low SES locations (QILT, 2019).
28. Employment decreases when a graduate comes from a low SES
background and is also Indigenous, has a disability, has a home
language other than English, is born outside Australia or is a woman
in a technical area (Richardson et al., 2016).
29. When I've done summer internships there's talk of family, drama with
private schooling kids, the air conditioning tech is late... I was
basically homeless at the time and living on soup.
(Bailie, 27, Arts : Interview post-graduation )
It’s kind of like knowing how to play the system, how to play the
game — that’s an advantage, knowing how the department works. I
didn’t really find it merit-based; I found it a bit nepotistic.
(Nicole, 47, Education: Interview post-graduation)
I did not expect anything from life. I had learnt better at a young age.
I expect nothing now. I still have no safety net, as I have only just
finished off paying for my education — expectations are a luxury
item. Where I come from, you work hard to try and get a chance at a
better life, we have no contacts, we have no networks. We have no
shortcuts. Expectations are for those who have support.
(Female, 41-50, Science, graduated 12 yrs)
30. Repercussions of the ‘imposter syndrome’ were reflected upon in
surveys and interviews, often impacting on employment outcomes or
even perceived opportunities. For some, this was an inherent
constraint that did not necessarily diminish even after gaining
employment:
Impostor syndrome. My own psychological pattern of doubt about my
accomplishments which is persistently internalised as a fear of being
exposed as a ‘fraud’. (Female, +51, Business, graduated 1yr)
I often feel like I have imposer syndrome and that I should be just
grateful for even having a seat at the table. (Female, 26-30,
Commerce, graduated 5yrs)
31.
32. Being the first in my family, was quite a big deal for me and
challenging at times. I was constantly comparing myself to my […]
peers who all had parents who had gone to university so therefore
had better support emotionally and financially. I found this hard
sometimes and wished my parents were different... I had honestly
had no idea what I was doing. (Female, 26-30, Commerce,
graduated 3yrs)
I could have made more of my university experience if I had
known at the time where I wanted to direct my career. Perhaps if
someone else in my family had graduated and embarked upon a
professional career they also could have given me advice about
building the foundations early, such as doing internships and
volunteering in places (Male, 26-30, Arts/ Law, graduated 6yrs)
I was very ignorant in what came after (Female, 26-30, Commerce,
graduated 6yrs)
33. I learnt perseverance. I was returning to employment after spending
the previous 6 years as a stay-at-home mum and student.
(Female, +51, Commerce, graduated 12yrs)
Being poor — straight out of university I worked minimum- or low-
wage jobs at first, thus I had to continue living in shared housing and
be quite creative… it took me a while to see that my variety of
experiences were giving me valuable skills.
(Female, 31-40, Science/ Education, graduated 5yrs)
34. University = Emotionally Layered Move
BUT
Unanticipated ‘psychic costs’ (Friedman, 2014) to being educationally
and socially mobile.
• Feeling like an ‘imposter’ or not deserving is just one of these
‘costs’
• The ‘purchasing power’ (Bathmaker, 2015, p.66) available to
these individuals within the employment market varied — bound
up with this limited sense of entitlement and belonging.
35. • Important to recognise that ALL students are social entities who
arrive with existing capitals and capabilities that can be
underutilised and unrecognised within the higher education
landscape.
• Explicit need to recognise these life experiences not in terms of
deficit or lack but as a form of ‘experiential capital’ (O’Shea,
2016a) that could assist in moving through and beyond higher
education
• Need for different definitions of ‘success’ that reflect the
realities of various student cohorts, specifically a ‘definition of
success that acknowledges the unique complexities, challenges
and material conditions’ (Sullivan, 2008, p.629) of these students.
36. • The unanticipated but welcomed benefits indicated by these
students: personal growth, intergenerational outcomes, new
perspectives on life and unexpected opportunities.
Coming from a low socioeconomic background and having the
opportunity to attend university has made a huge impact on the
quality of my life and what I've been able to achieve. (Female, 51+,
Education, graduated 25yrs)
• The qualitatively different experience for different student
cohorts…
• Need the ‘tools’ or the ‘rules’ that allowed individuals to play the
game, as Nicole explains she wants to know: ‘how to play the
system, how to play the game.’
37. • What three ‘take-home’ ideas do you have from the session?
• Based on what you have heard what could be applied to the
Deakin context?
• Any other ideas / comments?

Editor's Notes
Like Hook (2016) I believe that only when we consider how emotion and space are understood and managed by students can we create a deeper understanding of the ‘exclusionary boundaries which can restrict retention and engagement.’ (p.1)
Both Nicole and Ellen’s quotes relate to sources/ types of knowledge that Ball and Vincent (1998) call hot or ‘grapevine’ knowledge, often favoured by LSES students. Ball and Vincent actually point out that this is quite different to students from more from wealthier or more advantaged backgrounds who rely more on formal or ‘cold knowledge’ sources, often in the form of official publications
This situation is not in itself disadvantageous but when a student does not have access to a knowledgeable other within the family, the concern is that the hot knowledge may actually be based upon myth or rumour. In the FiF context there is often ‘the absence of other, more reliable sources of information . . . a way of filling in the missing information’ (Ball & Vincent, 1998, p. 380). Without this necessary ‘insider’ information, FiF students may rely solely on ‘hot knowledge’ that offers only a partial and somewhat uninformed perspective on this educational undertaking.
Mention that these were all first year students and there was clearly a low sense of belonging / entitlement
Very few academics "saw themselves in me" so I was not going to be recommended either - it is human nature that they would gravitate to those students that they are most comfortable with but it widens the divide. (A/S)
even with awards and recognition, you are still something of an outsider if you do not have the right background. I cannot magically summon an acceptable backstory and a supportive environment just by graduating - those pressures remain and take a toll. (A/S)
Both the concepts of social mobility and widening participation position the student as being largely responsible for their own achievement and academic success. Whilst not wishing to undermine the construct of being an ‘independent’ and self-directed learner, it is important to recognise that those from more diverse backgrounds may not have acquired the necessary capitals that underpin success and achievement in this educational domain.
