Professor Jane Fernandez is Provost of Excelsia College and oversees the College’s Research and Partnerships, Registrar and Quality portfolios. In this context, she oversees the regulatory outcomes of the College, including supporting governance and audit and risk functions. Prior to Excelsia, Jane was Vice-President (Learning and Teaching) and then Vice-President (Quality and Strategy) at Avondale (now Avondale University) and led Avondale through its change of provider categories, namely, its self-accrediting and university college achievements and its Joint-Conferral Scheme with Charles Sturt University.

Jane’s influence over Australian higher education is evidenced through her founding role in establishing the Higher Education Provider Quality Network (HEPP-QN), Australia’s first national quality assurance network for the independent sector. Since establishing the network almost a decade ago, she has successfully led several milestones in its development and impact. What started as approximately eight higher education institutions has grown to a membership of 80 institutions. This success she attributes to her shared leadership with her HEPP-QN Steering Group and to the continuing collaboration of member institutions.

The success of the HEPP-QN is notable in that it is recognised by the Australian Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). Jane notes that the HEPP-QN’s success is owed to the generosity of many leaders who reflect its goodwill: namely, TEQSA, the HEPP-QN Steering Group, several reputable sector experts, and the many passionate leaders across HEPP-QN institutions.

The several national webinars Jane has led have been opportunities to share collective expertise with the sector. Two HEPP-QN highlights include the national webinar with the previous TEQSA Chief Commissioner Nick Saunders on the topic of self-accrediting authority and the more recent interview she held with the TEQSA Commission on TEQSA’s vision in October 2022. These have been opportunities to share the HEPP-QN’s motivation to provide a unifying vision for national-based quality in Australian higher education. Jane believes that sharing the space of leadership and learning from her teams is part of stepping up to lead. This is important to her for both her work with the HEPP-QN and just as importantly, for her Provost role at Excelsia.

Jane explains her leadership drive: ‘My motivation is the future of young people who are entrusted in our care. The outcomes that we want to achieve, as leaders, cannot be done alone,’ she says. Jane values the leadership philosophy ‘rise by lifting others’. This philosophy is also reflected in the HEPP-QN’s motto ‘Achieving Together’.

When approaching leadership from a Christian world view, Jane says, ‘We can look to Christ who beautifully brought together the human elements of leadership including empathy, compassion and forgiveness. Christ’s whole life on earth is graced with elements of humility and compassion: he was born in a stable, embraces sinners, affirms the dispossessed, and washes the feet of His disciples.’

The big lessons of Christian leadership for Jane involve being authentic through self-critique. This involves sharing and growing a vision while connecting to what it means to be human: facing our own flaws; seeking and giving forgiveness; growing through the mistakes we make; sharing the lessons we learn; respecting people; being inclusive and celebrating the talents and gifts that others bring; asking and seeking help; acknowledging that we never achieve anything alone; and always being grateful for the journey, dedicating the success God allows us to a higher purpose.

Lumen Conferral

Redeeming Truth and Community in the Age of Individualism

The search for meaning, theological understanding, spiritual life, and the foundation of morality in the contemporary world

The 2018 Lumen conference examined the identity and marginalisation of the Christian voice today. The 2021 Conferral looks at what has been lost in pushing the Christian search for Truth and community to the margins (corroborated by Miroslav Volf’s book, Flourishing: Why We Need Religion in a Globalized World, Yale University Press, 2017), leaving declining liberal democracy, globalisation and free market economy at the core. Jonathan Sacks in his book, Morality (Hodder and Stoughton, 2020) claims that the levers of power (states and governments) and capitalism (wealth) have eclipsed and displaced the search for Truth, which, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, is the search for meaning, theological understanding, spiritual life, and the foundation of morality.

To this disintegration Sacks further attributes deterioration of families and marriages, the global growth in loneliness, depression and anxiety, drug addiction, and suicidality; the loss of social, communication and concentration skills; and an overall disintegration of society that arises from individualistic thinking of ‘I’ not ‘we’ ironically in pursuit of rights and freedom. ‘An individualistic universe may be free but it is fraught with loneliness, isolation, vulnerability and nihilism, a prevailing sense of the ultimate meaninglessness of life’ (Sacks, 2020, p. 85). Whilst the origins of individualism may stem from the Enlightenment, Sacks suggests that the current surge of individualism emerged with the ‘liberation’ of the 1960s, and abandonment of morals and religion, identified by Alasdair MacIntyre in his seminal moral theory study, After Virtue (University of Notre Dame Press, 1981), which is now epitomised by the iGen (or Generation Z, born after 1995, who have spent their entire life with smartphone technology).

What does Christian Truth and community have to offer society in the age of dangerous post-truth or ‘alternative facts’ (Lee McIntyre, MIT Press, 2018), unstable and inequitable liberal democracies, re-emerging totalitarian states, environmental irresponsibility, ‘social’ media that fosters isolation and insecurity, to people isolated and socially handicapped by technology, to a world that idolises wealth and power at the cost of equality, creating an ever-widening gap between affluence and poverty, a gulf between authoritarianism and justice? Is the search for Truth and spirituality truly obsolete? If not, how can we redeem the core values of Christian teaching and enrich society?

This year’s Conferral (towards a book of thematically aligned chapters) will build on the 2018 Lumen Conference and consequent book theme, Christian Identity in the Public Arena. That edition discussed Christian identity today and challenges to having a voice in the public sphere where Christians are marginalised and seen as ‘alien’. Alien and marginalised as Christianity may be, the 2021 Conferral asks what has Christianity to offer the dystopian spiritless future, and what must it retrieve in order for meaning and Truth to survive?

Jesus modelled radical and countercultural inclusiveness of marginalised and alienated people in his interactions, acknowledging the dignity and value of ethnic outsiders, the vulnerable, the physically and mentally ill, people with ritually unclean professions, women, people of all classes, and those generally ostracised by society. He did this nowhere more clearly than in the Lukan Gospel. In its sequel, Acts, the work of the early church focused on community creation and inclusiveness. How does Christianity today retrieve community cohesion and resilience, and support marginalised people from its own position of marginalisation?

Why/How Christians are marginalised in the Age of Individualism

E.g. the rejection of Christian theology or world views by secular reason in post-Enlightenment Western philosophy; the diminution of Christian foundations of morality; and dismissal of Christian voices in governance, economic policy, social policies, and religious freedom.

What Christianity can offer in the Age of Individualism

E.g. Truth and wisdom for responsible stewardship, sustainable community, and for meaningful human life; the place of theology, philosophy and spirituality for governance and governing policies, and for flourishing families and parenting; overcoming challenges to Christianity in a material, capitalist world; impacts of economic policy, free market economy, and liberal democracy; and creative arts as a culturally integrated locus of spiritual encounter.

How Christians can support truth, justice and community in the Age of Individualsm

E.g. Being responsible stewards and advocating stewardship; being a resilient, responsible community and fostering communities; being ethical and fostering ethical action in all areas of life; being wise citizens and advocating for just, inclusive, truthful governance; restoring absolute truth and factual truth in the age of post-truth, such as in perspectives on social media or responsible journalism.

Upholding dignity, enabling equity: towards healthy communities

E.g. The biblical, Judeo-Christian and Jesus-inspired model of inclusiveness; dignity for marginalised people: the role of Christianity in aged care, dementia care, people with disability, palliative care and healthcare; the role of Christianity in gender equity and responsible leadership, Indigenous leadership, Christian/servant/Trinitarian and pastoral leadership models; the role of Christianity in mental health and wellbeing; in Indigenous opportunity, education and healthcare, and truthful histories; in supporting migrants, asylum-seekers, and ethnically ostracised groups; in understanding and supporting people affected by domestic and family violence; in inclusive education; and supporting people in poverty, crisis-care, and homelessness.

Conference Theme

In The Phenomenology of Spirit of 1807, Hegel described the social reality of his time as the ‘topsy-turvy world’ (die verkehrte Welt) in which even the best-made projects turn into their opposite – ‘a dream of freedom into terror, morality into hypocrisy, excessive wealth into poverty of the majority’ (Slavoj Zažek, Surplus—Enjoyment, London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2022, p1). More than two hundred years later, it is not clear that signs of ‘progress’ such as the Internet of Things (pervasive computing), artificial intelligence, tremendous scientific advances, greater psychological understanding of the mind and cognitive mechanisms, the march of democracies, capitalism, globalisation of cultures, trade, and economy, have achieved coherence and ordering of the topsy-turvy chaos to which Hegel referred. The aspirations of freedom, fraternity and equality are not realised; there is fragmentation across all areas of life instead of connection, compassion, and justice.

In the area of social media, the internet promised us infinite connectivity and certainly transformed the social experience of whole generations. Education, too, is transformed by play-inspired methods of maker-space learning, peer-learning, intercultural dialogue, new histories and geographies enabled by real-time discourse, and the synchronous exchange of ideas. Churches have (in some cases) become ‘mega’, global not local, with multilingual live translation and televised, and our Bibles are in our pockets on a phone not a tenderly leather-bound tome. Cities and populations are expanding to cover tens of thousands of kilometres but condense people into closer and closer proximity.

Yet despite this growth, people feel ever more isolated and lonelier. Students in online classrooms claim to be disengaged and excluded from communities of learning, practice, and social interaction. Older people are more likely to feel depressed and lonely than overwhelmed by the speed of the topsy-turvy world. Mental health, counselling, and wellbeing practices are seeing increasing numbers of people affected by identity and personality disorders. One can sit on a Tokyo train amidst millions of commuters and feel alone or even die from overwork (karoshi) without being noticed. Zaźek posits ‘we live in a weird moment where multiple catastrophes—pandemic, global warming, social tensions, the prospect of full digital control over our thinking …—compete for primacy’, (ibid, p.2) where arguably these multiple catastrophes have amplified the disconnection, disintegration, and fragmentation of individuals, communities, and societies.

In response, we are holding the ‘Faith, Cohesion, and Communities’ conference. This 2023 Lumen conference asks the questions of whether Christian faith can contribute meaningfully to cohesion, and whether Christian faith can influence re-connection, integration, and orderliness amidst the chaos. Further, through the gathering and transformation of communities, can such faith offer ethical insights mitigating cultural dilution, virtuality, and social and political fragmentation, together with steadfast commitment to appease violence and unrest? Or, is faith, too, a victim impacted by fragmentation? How has Christian faith been impacted by fragmentation of self, society, polity, economy, or culture?

Pre-conference workshop

Pre Lumen-Conference workshop on forgiveness:

1 August 2023

Workshop with Keynote Speaker Emeritus Professor Everett Worthington:

Title: Forgiveness: What Do Science and Christian Theology and Practice Tell Us about What Is It and How Can We Do It and Help Others Do It

The free, interactive workshop will look at individual forgiveness but also at stimulating forgiveness and reconciliation in the community and workplace. See registration link below.

Forgiveness is a Christian value, but it also enhances workplace, social cooperation, and personal wellbeing and inner peace even in secular contexts. This workshop is therefore relevant to people of all professions and faiths. It is approached here from a psychological point of view.

Everett L Worthington, Jr, PhD, is Commonwealth Professor Emeritus working from the Department of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. He holds a Faculty Affiliate appointment at the Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University (Human Flourishing Program). He continues to be active in research and speaking around the world. He is a licensed clinical psychologist in Virginia. He has published over 45 books and around 500 articles and scholarly chapters, mostly on forgiveness, humility and positive psychology, marriage and family topics, and religion and spirituality. He also has developed the REACH Forgiveness model (see www.EvWorthington-forgiveness.com).

Workshop summary and objectives

I draw on a lifetime as a Christian who has studied the psychology of forgiveness since the 1980s. I seek to provide participants with a Biblically consistent, scientifically informed understanding of what forgiveness is and how to help friends, family members, clients (if any), and church attendees forgive, if they wish to do so.

Primary objectives

By the end of this workshop, the participant will be able to

Summarize scientific theories of forgiveness.
Define two types of forgiveness and differentiate them from reconciliation.
Use REACH Forgiveness to help oneself and others forgive.

Secondary objectives
• Help their own or other couples’ relationships using information from the Hope-Focused Couple Approach.
• Help oneself and others forgive themselves for things they have done or ways they have fallen short of their own expectations using six steps to Self-Forgiveness.

Can communities become more forgiving?

1 August, 9:30am–4pm

Venue:

Excelsia College, 69–71 Waterloo Road, Macquarie Park 2113

What does forgiveness mean?

Everett believes there are two types of forgiveness. ‘Decisional forgiveness’ involves deciding to forgive a personal offense and letting go of angry and resentful thoughts and feelings toward the person who has wronged you. ‘Emotional forgiveness’ involves replacing the negative emotions with positive feelings like compassion, sympathy, and empathy. Research shows that emotional forgiveness is where most health benefits lie. This type of forgiveness can reduce our stressful reaction to a transgression – and stress has been shown to lead to a suppressed immune system and an increased risk for cardiovascular issues. Emotional forgiveness also keeps us from ruminating over the wrong that was done to us, and rumination can be harmful, too; it has been associated with a number of mental health problems, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and depression. Decisional forgiveness is more important in repairing and reconciling relationships.

On his website, Everett offers ‘no-cost resources’:

Research supporting REACH Forgiveness is extensive. Nathaniel Wade, William Hoyt, Julia Kidwell, and Everett Worthington (2014) published a comprehensive meta-analysis of all outcome research on forgiveness in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. Everett’s workshops have been variously tailored for both secular and Christian groups, i.e. for everyone – religious or not. Forgiveness can be involved in many personal and relationship problems. Even when forgiveness is an issue for a person who is depressed, anxious, with a personality disorder or any psychological disorder, most psychotherapy does not spend much time on forgiveness. Everett’s work in forgiveness includes self-forgiveness, forgiveness of others, his ‘method’ and resources, and building forgiveness around the world. In the lead up to the Faith, Cohesion and Communities Lumen Conference, we anticipate this workshop will look at individual but also group, community and societal dimensions of forgiveness and how forgiving can make for better personal and professional relationships.

Can communities become more forgiving?
Everett is completing a project attempting to see the community impact in Christian colleges when a campus organises a two-week ‘forgiveness blitz’. It seems to me that, at a time of material scarcity, when natural disasters, war, enmity, ethnic and religious diversity and other forms of differentiation have the potential to create division, the exploration of personal and community capacity for forgiveness is urgent.

ACHEA Conference

Changing Worlds: Purpose formation, pluralism and paradigm clash – past and present

In this conference we will discuss the nature, goals and processes of formation, challenges to formation in pluralistic contexts, and problems of formation at times of paradigm clashes. The legitimacy of individually focused formation through higher education is not immune to question, given the social inequalities evident in access to enrolment and between graduates and non-graduates. The ethical implications of intentional formation of people in a social context that privileges autonomy are also worthy of close scrutiny. Some ethical questions include: Who has the right to attempt the formation of others? What legitimates formation activities? What are the benefits and harms of purposive individual formation in situations of pluralism? In considering these and related questions about purposive formation we reflect on the present and consider lessons that can be learned from the past.

Work in Progress Seminars

Purpose

The broad purpose of the Research Work in Progress (WIP) seminars is to support and mentor staff in their research activities as part of the coordinated research efforts of the College.

Specific aims of the WIP seminars are to:

Foster a research community through regular discussion of internal and external research activities;
Foster collaborative research, including inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary research, through discussion of internal and external research activities;
Provide feedback from diverse academic perspectives on staff research outputs at critical times in the research process (initial ideas, formulating specific research questions or hypotheses, finalising methodology, data analysis, written or verbal research reporting);
Facilitate dissemination of internal research outputs to the Excelsia College community and the wider academic community.

Dates and Times of Seminars

Seminars are usually held on the first Tuesday of each month, excluding December, January & February. The exact dates depend on staff availability. Meetings are held between 12pm and 1pm.

Format of Seminars

Formats include research workshops and seminars, writing workshops, and conference practice sessions. In workshops staff or invited external researchers briefly present some work in progress and invite discussion. In seminars an invited speaker presents research findings or discusses a research issue in a more extended presentation, but with at least 20 minutes of open discussion. Writing workshops are devoted to reading and providing feedback to works in progress in pairs or small groups. Conference practice sessions include the presentation of a paper prepared for a forthcoming conference plus discussion of the content and mode of presentation.

Supervision Workshops

Supervision workshops address topics related to best practice in the supervision of HDR candidates. They form part of the ongoing professional development of staff engaged in HDR supervision.

Writing Retreat

Objectives of the three-day writing retreat are to write part or all of a research paper; learn about and share useful information about writing and publishing; and develop research collaborations in areas of mutual interest.

Symposia

Research symposia provide opportunities for a number of presentations on related topics by invited speakers. Open symposia include staff and international experts as speakers; HDR symposia feature the research of HDR candidates.

Excelsia College > Research > Why Research?

Why research?

Research is an essential activity for staff and postgraduate students at Excelsia College. High quality research generates knowledge that, in turn, informs teaching and professional practice.

Staff members engage in research as a way of contributing to knowledge in their own discipline and remaining up to date with current ideas. Consistent with the vision and mission of Excelsia College to provide excellence in Christian higher education, research by staff members often includes a Christian focus. Specifically, staff research includes projects that integrate Christian values and perspectives within their disciplinary area to the benefit of both the Christian and wider communities.

Postgraduate students normally study research methods and conduct research projects as part of their degrees. By undertaking research, post-graduate students are not only learning how to be lifelong learners, but they are also contributing to contemporary knowledge. As such, they are emerging as members of the scholarly community.
