The Department values all its alumni: they represent a vital link between the university and the larger national and international communities within which alumni operate.
CCS Events
As valued past students of the Department, we encourage you to keep in touch with us by attending events - such a public lectures, seminars, colloquia and conferences - organised by the Department. The Department has a very active schedule of events that are open to the public. It runs a seminar series in which national and international speakers contribute to topical issues of public debate, scholarly research and cultural innovation. The Department stages the biennial Body Modification Conference. The Body Modification Conference has emerged as the premier international conference devoted to the study of all aspects of body modification. The Department also holds one-day colloquia that critically examine topical political, cultural and social issues. Past colloquia include Unrequited Justice, which examined the criminalisation of targeted youth in Australian culture.

Donations and Bequests

CCS alumni have also remarked on the fact that a CCS education has imparted them with the skills constructively to address questions of ethics and difference in the context of their everyday lives. As the CCS mission statement makes clear, the Department is committed to providing an Arts education that is critically relevant to the everyday lives of its students.
