Professor ANU. Biopolitics, innovation, reproduction, history.

Julie Bishop is stepping down as ANU chancellor in December. In an unprecedented intervention, the higher education regulator will have a guiding hand in picking her replacement. www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/29/a...
The countdown to Julie Bishop's replacement has begun
ANU's council has signed a 'voluntary' agreement with the regulator about how its chancellor's successor will be chosen. It doesn't reflect well on the university council.

“If they can’t be trusted to perform their core functions, appointed members of ANU council need to be removed. We shouldn’t have to wait until Julie Bishop’s term ends to resolve the leadership and governance crisis at the ANU.” - @nteunion.bsky.social on #ANU
Regulator to take charge of ANU chancellor recruitment
Compromise move allows university to press ahead with search for Bishop’s replacement by giving Teqsa unprecedented role
