Professor Geoff Whitty and Penny-Jane Burke

Founding Global Innovation Chair of Equity and Co-Director of CEEHE, the late Professor Geoff Whitty

Professor Geoff Whitty was instrumental in the establishment and development of the Centre of Excellence for Equity in Higher Education (CEEHE). In his role as Global Innovation Chair for Equity in Higher Education, Co-Director and Honorary Professor of CEEHE, Professor Whitty brought with him a wealth of experience in scholarship, educational leadership and policy development.

As colleagues have reflected, Professor Whitty's career was defined by his profound concern for equity and social justice in education—a concern that fuelled the incredible service to education he made through his research, on-the-ground work with educators and students, and role in educational reform at an international level. His scholarly work has had a lasting contribution and remains relevant today, continuing to inform policy makers and influencers to translate ideals of 'equality of opportunity' and 'social justice' into reality.

Professor Whitty was admitted to the degree of Doctor of Education (honoris causa) at the University of Newcastle. The honorary degree recognised his profound contribution to improving access to education for communities across the globe.

Professor Whitty's approach to research was collaborative and internationally focussed, reflected in his commitments at UON and to many international networks of educators, researchers, policy makers and institutions. In a recent publication on Equity Issues in Teaching and Teacher Education, written for the Global Learning Equity Network, Professors Whitty and Burke (CEEHE Director) spoke of the role that the CEEHE aims to play in 'bringing together different pedagogical and research communities'—in order to 'disrupt persistent patterns of inequality across social differences' (2018: 282). Professor Whitty's personal commitment to this goal is evidenced by the considerable impact he made internationally, across disciplines, policy sectors, and institutions.

The strategic vision, insight and global networks that Professor Whitty brought to CEEHE have been integral in establishing CEEHE as a centre that brings together research, theory and practice in order to leverage higher education for social justice. In doing so Professor Whitty helped to establish CEEHE as a national and global leader in the field.

Professor Whitty’s generous mentorship and gentle encouragement of colleagues across UON helped to secure significant federal and philanthropic funding for equity research and practice at UON. He will be remembered for his generosity of spirit, great intellect, rich scholarship, inspirational leadership, commitment to social justice and wonderful friendship. His legacy will continue in our work.
