Tara Brabazon podcast

Well, we talk about deterritorialization...  This supervisory session - run in the shadow of the Corona virus - confirms connection, community and continual progress.  

Narelle, Jamie and Tara are working to finish this remarkable thesis - quickly.  But what is left for Narelle to finish - and how are we going to finish it?

Narelle, Jamie and Tara talk about the first week of semester.  How does a super-full time person balance life, work, family and the PhD?

Striding through a post-disciplinary wasteland, Narelle, Jamie and Tara get stuck into 'theory.'  Yes we go there.  We explore scientific theory, humanities theory and see if there is a way that Narelle will not get squashed by the differences in definition.

Narelle, Jamie and Tara talk about how teaching - and teachers - can transform.  The goal is to move beyond the ambiguous concepts of 'agility,' 'flexibility' and 'creativity.'  

Social media proliferates through personal and professional lives.  But how can social media be used to engage PhD students and research collaborations?

Students often surprise their supervisors.  Narelle talks about how she has managed to complete so much of her thesis so quickly.  Amazing.

This podcast is the sonic component of a flipped training session for PhD supervisors at Flinders University.  We focus on one key question:  why do students decide to change their supervisor?  We present the reason on the reasons for this change, and how these situations can be managed.

Narelle, Jamie and Tara provide the post-confirmation of candidature update.  We talk about 'what now' and 'what's next' to ensure a rapid completion of Narelle's thesis.
