Plagiarism is a dark force in our intellectual culture. But it is a proxy for a series of challenges in information literacy. This Steps professional development session explores these proxies and how to intervene in the research culture of higher degree students.

In this professional training session for supervisors at Flinders University, we explore the reasons and rationale for completing milestones during a higher degree candidature.

For this professional development session, Tara introduces the higher doctorate. What is it? What is its value. Most importantly, how do we supervise students to completion in this mode of specialist doctorate?

Tara talks with Professor Jamie Quinton about the futures of STEM. The discussion probes multidisciplinary and skill development.

Participants Ali, who discusses fear and heteronormativity, and Lizzie, who dives into social media's impact on disgust and leadership, explore the intricate politics of emotion. They unpack how emotions like rage and discomfort relate to identity politics and neoliberal policies. Ali links fear to media consumption, while Lizzie illustrates how leaders like AOC curate emotions online. The conversation highlights the importance of emotional literacy in addressing societal challenges and the nuanced roles of emotions in both personal and political spheres.
