2023 Works In Progress Morning Teas
10:15am to 11.15am. Venue: Beryl Rawson Building Level 2 Kitchen
This session combines morning tea with the HRC’s re-imagined WIP series. It is informal but structured so please arrive on time.
Structure:
- 15 minutes tea and bikkies
- 15 minutes work-in-progress talk
- 15 minutes of feedback, questions, and chaired discussion. Note that HDR students and ECRs will be given priority for asking questions.
- 15 minutes free conversation and more tea
This series showcases the work-in-progress being undertaken by HRC Visiting Fellows and ANU faculty for an audience of engaged interdisciplinary peers. It provides an opportunity for the HRC’s community to gather to listen and provide feedback to researchers in a social environment.
We particularly encourage research students to attend, and privilege questions and comments from junior researchers and staff members. Don’t know anyone? Come a little bit early and we’ll introduce ourselves to you. It is a unique and enjoyable/enriching place to listen and contribute to interdisciplinary scholarship. We can also provide discrete mentoring on effective academic engagement/communication (email Kylie.Message-Jones@anu.edu.au).
Members of the university and the public are welcome to participate in these seminars.
