UQ Alumni Podcast: Recent Episodes
UQ Alumni Relations and Engagement
Continue your lifelong learning journey by tuning into our range of podcasts featuring leading academics and expert alumni from The University of Queensland.
The UQ Talks series will showcase some of the outstanding research produced by the world-leading academics working at UQ. And to give the brilliant minds who are producing that research a platform to speak on topics that are of critical importance to Australia, and the world more broadly.Building on the legacy of the long-running Global Leadership Series, the ‘UQ Talks’ series is also intended to be a forum for our alumni community to connect, converse, and debate these important issues.Emerging from Anthropology and shaped by the social movements of the 1960s and ‘70s, the development of Indigenous Studies was led by First Nations scholars who contested non-Indigenous studies of Indigenous peoples. What issues are driving this field of study today, and how can Australian universities learn from our global counterparts? In this UQ Talk, globally renowned scholar Distinguished Professor Aileen Moreton-Robinson, a Goenpul woman of the Quandamooka people, will provide an overview of Indigenous scholarly debates about what constitutes Indigenous Studies in contemporary Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada.
National house prices have risen at record rates. Today, over 400,000 Australians are in need of affordable housing and over 150,000 are on public housing waiting lists (source: ACOSS).
As homelessness increases and support systems are stretched to the limit, the root causes of housing insecurity, and the barriers to affordable housing, remain sources of debate.
Our panel of experts share their research into this growing crisis, its impact on the most vulnerable, and how we can move toward a future where all Australians enjoy the security of a stable home.
This podcast was recorded at a live event held in Melbourne in May 2022.
There’s no shortage of uncertainty in the world right now – and in turbulent times like these we really need inspired leadership to navigate the path forward. But what are the hallmarks of good leadership in the midst of turbulence and disruption?
In this conversation with high-performing leaders across a diverse range of industries, we’ll explore the strategies and practices of successful leadership, and we'll seek their views on how to lead through disruption.
The theme for the 2021 Jacaranda Society Morning Tea, held at Customs House in Brisbane, Australia, was ‘Impact of Bequest Giving’.
Sadly, due to a snap COVID-19 lockdown in South East Queensland, the event was not able to proceed in person, as originally planned. While we are disappointed the event did not go ahead, the health and safety of our community was our highest priority.
We have been working behind the scenes to deliver a virtual experience of the event with our guest speaker, Professor Michael Stowasser.
Michael is the Director of the Endocrine Hypertension Research Centre at the Diamantina Institute at The University of Queensland. He also works at Princess Alexandra and Greenslopes Private Hospitals.
Michael has over 30 years’ experience of clinical research in pathogenesis and management of hypertension. Michael has been receiving a gift from the estate of Mrs Irene Hunt for 20 years, and will share his research story which includes the benefits of receiving an ongoing gift from an estate. It’s an impactful good news story of how his unit was able to continue their work during tough times, to make a global scientific breakthrough.
Restoring trust in major institutions is high on the agenda in Australia. While recent public enquiries have uncovered systematic failings of ethical culture, integrity, and governance in a number of sectors, they also provide a platform for change and rebuilding trust.
Hear from industry experts on the topics of environmental offsets, sustainability policy, circular economy and more.
As the current pandemic sets the new vision for global action towards an inclusive and sustainable world, the success of organisations depends on their approach to sustainability. In particular, how they localise and integrate practices across sustainable business models, ESG indicators, climate finance and environmental offsets.
This edition of the Global Leadership Series, held at Custom’s House in Brisbane, Australia, asks the question ‘What’s it all about? Constitution, Treaty, Voice.’
When the Uluru Statement from the Heart was released in 2017, it called for an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to be enshrined in the Australian Constitution. It was an important moment in our country’s history, calling for structural reform to enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to have a greater say in the laws, policies and services that impact them.
UQ alumnus Professor Megan Davis, the Balnaves Chair in Constitutional Law at UNSW Sydney reflects on key concepts of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and important questions facing Australia on the path to a better future.
From droughts to raging bushfires to devastating floods, Australia has seen an alarming increase in the severity of weather events in recent years.
Despite this, many believe our nation’s political leaders have failed to take real action against the threat of climate change.
But why is this? And what role does science reporting play in this narrative?
Join award-winning journalists and UQ graduates Marian Wilkinson and Tegan Taylor, as they lift the curtain on climate-change politics and discuss how quality science reporting can play a role in helping Australia reach its emission targets.

After months of isolation and economic strain, pressure is mounting to create a trans-Tasman travel bubble. As many people gear up to book their first holiday or family visit across the Tasman, others are more concerned about the potential risks that travel between Australia and New Zealand could create.
In this podcast, our expert panel will discuss the likelihood and logistics of a trans-Tasman travel bubble, and the risks and benefits it would bring to both Australia and New Zealand.

Attending university can be the experience that catalyses an entire career and a lifelong passion, but for many Indigenous students, the financial burden means it isn’t an option. In this episode, we talked to Professor Heather Zwicker and Associate Professor Sandra Philips about the HASS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship Endowment Fund, which was established through Heather’s initial commitment on Giving Day in 2019. For both Heather and Sandra, the fund is an important step in creating the generational change we need to improve educational outcomes for Indigenous students.
Robert Quinn – like all start-up founders – is driven by a desire to create change in the world. For Robert, this is change he is creating through his start-up company, Patch’d Medical, but also as one of the inaugural members of UQ’s Founder’s Pledge. The Pledge is an exciting new approach to giving which marries the natural ambition of entrepreneurialism and philanthropy to create a community of like-minded individuals committed to paying their success back. In this episode, we talked to Robert about his experiences with the Founder’s Pledge, the start-up culture in Australia, and the importance of giving back.
Clinical placements are a critical part of a physiotherapy student’s education, but they can sometimes create a significant financial burden for students who have to relocate temporarily for their placements. This is a need Emeritus Professor Gwendolen Jull recognised in her time teaching within the School of Rehabilitation and Social Sciences, and saw her establish two new scholarships for physiotherapy students in need. In this episode, we talked to Gwen about time as an educator at UQ and her decision to give.
For Cynthia Burnett, languages and culture offer us unique insights into humanity – a lesson she learned while teaching and learning in Europe on two scholarships after her studies in the late 1960s. In 2018, Cynthia established the Cynthia Burnett Travel Scholarships to give back the opportunity awarded to her during her own university studies, to support talented young students undertaking language learning in the native environment. Through her foundation – established in her father’s name – she also supports medical education at UQ at the Francis Baron Burnett Stimulation Centre. In this episode, we talked to Cynthia about her love for languages and her experience with giving at UQ.

Welcome to Alumni Ask! Here’s a breakdown of the alumni questions answered in this podcast:
4.12: Are there any examples of how long it look domestic travel to begin again following other pandemics?
5.50: In the short term, what will happen to a tourism centric city, such as Cairns, who's economy and jobs rely heavily on international tourism?
8.00: During this pandemic, we have heard how the Great Barrier Reef has had it's most widespread bleaching ever recorded. How will the tourism industry factor environmental issues like this into recovery efforts?
9.08: What is the short-term plan to reactivate tourism in Australia?
10.15: How do we convince tourists to visit Australia again?
13.08: How will destinations 'stand out' among other destinations as they re-start without capital and in only a domestic market?
15.20: Will there be a spike in visitation post-virus? Or, will this staggered approach to lifting travel restrictions (intrastate, interstate, international) mean that supply will outstrip demand and result in a price war involving unsustainable business models such as under cutting and discounting? How do we nationally ensure we don’t devalue our industry?
16.45: What major changes will we see after the pandemic? Will things like measuring guest’s temperature become a reality?
17.45: How do you think the cruise ship industry might go about restoring its reputation and providing healthy safe travel to its guests?
19.20: I have a small tourism business in the Northern Territory that is a dry season only operation. With this season pretty much done, followed by our wet season low/no operation period - What do you see looking forward to dry season 2021 (April -October)?
22.20: What is the best way Australians not involved in the tourism industry can support its recovery?
