Tara Brabazon podcast

Tara Brabazon talks with Nazlin Bhimani, librarian and PhD candidate at the Institute of Education, London, to discuss plagiarism, academic integrity and research integrity for PhD students.

The best learning in a PhD programme is peer learning. Tara shares the expertise of Flinders PhD students discussing how to manage their expectations and the lived reality of a doctoral candidature.

John Reid presents his upgrade seminar for his PhD. The topic is indigenous male migration. In this powerful presentation, he summons the image, metaphor, theory and trope of 'the waterhole.'

Tara talks with John Reid about his PhD. What is the function of 'the waterhole' in cultural geography, or as a metaphor, a trope and a theory to understand indigenous masculinity?

As Tara is about to head off to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, she talks with Steve about why regional education matters. The importance of universities in small cities and large towns is obvious and clear, but rarely recognized in public or education policy.

Sunny, Steve and Tara address the challenge of breaking up 110,000 words into refereed articles. Sunny has already completed two refereed articles and she discusses the surprises that emerge when she cuts up her thesis into new forms of writing, for new audiences.

Very often in the doctoral space, it is assumed that PhD students understand how to interpret complex and intricate sources. As Anne moves into deep interpretation of Terry Johnson, Steve and Tara talk through strategies to enable high level scholarship.

Mark, Steve and Tara talk about 'the workaround' in technology and its role and impact in regional education. And as a meta-point, this podcast produced what may end up Mark's PhD title and key concept. Podcast can offer a hot moment of innovation for supervisors and students. One of these moments is captured here.

In her first post-thesis week, Sunny has been asked to referee. Tara and Steve talk about how to referee for an academic journal, and the specific challenges for early career researchers.
