Tara Brabazon podcast

Welcome to this first core training session for higher degree supervisors at Flinders University.

Tara introduces the Core Higher Degree Supervisory programme at Flinders University

Narelle, Jamie and Tara talk about multiliteracy and its relationship to disciplinary literacy. How can diversity be enabled - in curricula design and beyond - through multiliteracy?

Well, the project has progressed. Narelle, Jamie and Tara start to sharpen the field and literature of literacy feeding into her disciplinary literacy research. And yes - a breakthrough.

Tara Brabazon and Jamie Quinton unpick a flippant comment made by a senior Australian academic. She dismissed the relationship between undergraduate teaching and learning and PhD supervision. But is there a relationship? Should there be a relationship? How is this relationship rendered meaningful?

The right woman. The right time. The right project. Every now and again, a remarkable researcher transforms a field. Listen to Narelle Hunter explore how disciplinary literacy can transform the teaching, learning and researching of science.

Tara talks with completed PhD students and scholars just at the cusp of submission. How do you finish? How does the PhD end? A powerful moment in understanding the endings.

Join Natalie Hills and Tara Brabazon as they delve into the complexities of PhD examinations. They explore challenges like self-plagiarism, co-ownership in academic writing, and the importance of government support. The podcast offers practical advice on navigating thesis submissions, managing extensions, and sharing negative outcomes in research. Listen for valuable insights on the examination process, selecting examiners, and coping with post-submission phases.

Chapters delve into struggles faced by PhD students, from supervisor issues to financial difficulties. Stories of perseverance, personal growth, and academic success. Reflecting on challenges, positive experiences, and lessons learned on the PhD journey

Tara conducts an end-of-seminar discussion with PhD students about their aspirations and hopes for a PhD supervisor. Evocative. Provocative. Convincing.
