2024 Works In Progress Seminars
10:15am to 11.15am.
Venue: Baldessin Precinct Building, Level 4, E4.11
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.
Past and upcoming HRC WIP Seminars are listed below.
