Monash researchers go global16 July 2008
Monash research students interested in making their careers and ideas "globally mobile" can gain insights from some top academics at a special symposium next week. The symposium, Travelling Research in a Transnational World, will appeal to research students in the areas of arts, humanities and social sciences. It will feature presentations from Associate Professor McKenzie Wark, a media and cultural studies academic from New York; Professor Dennis Altman, a politics expert at La Trobe University; Professor Katherine Gibson, an economic geography expert from the Australian National University; and Susan Robertson, an education and globalisation academic from the University of Bristol. Symposium co-organiser Professor Jane Kenway, from Monash's education faculty, said the speakers were globally mobile intellectuals whose ideas and research had been shaped by their travel experiences. "They will talk about topics such as how researchers can ensure their ideas travel well and how to avoid making your research too parochial," Professor Kenway said. The symposium will be held on Thursday 24 July, 2008 at the Japanese Studies Centre, Clayton campus. For further information please visit the Travelling Research symposium webpage. The symposium is free but places are limited. Students wishing to attend should email Annabelle Leve. |
