RCC Director's play to feature at eResearch Australasia 2017
RCC Director and sometime-playwright Prof. David Abramson will have his play Purely Academic performed at the eResearch Australasia conference in Brisbane on 18–19 October.
Purely Academic is a dramedy about the darker side of academia. It follows the path of a doctoral researcher who rises rapidly through the academic ranks, walking over anyone and anything that stands in his way.
The play invites an honest discussion about professional ethics and practices today. What “persona” is cultivated by today’s academic regime? With what impact? What does it mean to be an academic today? What does one need to learn to become one?
The play will be performed by actors to conference attendees on the night of Wednesday, 18 October. The performance on the night of Thursday, 19 October is open to the general public (book tickets).
