However, the future of some Religious Studies units still remains in doubt. As part of the Radical Education 2021 series, Studying Religion in Australia discussed the insights of the discipline and religion in Australia. The event began with a heartfelt tribute to Alana Louise Bowden, a student and staff member who recently passed away, whose efforts and role were instrumental in saving the department.

This event will involve hearing Professor Cusack (Religious Studies), David Associate Professor Smith (American Politics and Foreign Policy), and Ranuka Tandan (Studies in Religion student) discuss how and why Religious Studies are seen as expendable by the university, and the role of religion in politics.
This is an especially relevant discussion with the appointment of Dominic Perrottet as NSW Premier, someone who has used his religious beliefs to push against abortion decriminalisation and marriage equality, and the recent win by students and staff in opposing the threats to USyd's Religious Studies Department.
