Maive is producing creative-led research for her thesis: an artefact and an exegesis. Why - therefore - was she drawn to a very subtle and provocative slice of criminological theory? This week, we explore why this exploration of ultra realist criminology - and social harm - was so important to Maive's PhD.
Maive and Tara about Maive's confirmation of candidature. What happened. What were the surprises. Why it matters.
Maive and Tara about Maive's confirmation of candidature. What happened. What were the surprises. Why it matters.
Maive and Tara (over)share the stress of preparing for the Confirmation of Candidature. It is a tough event in the life of PhD students. But it is a proof of concept and not an examination...
Tara and Maive talk about literature reviews, and particularly how they can be constructed within the parameters of the artefact and exegesis PhD
As Maive is moving towards her Confirmation of Candidature, she is working on her report that will be assessed by assessors. What are the requirements of that document? What headings will make a difference?
A PhD requires commitment: of time and energy. But it also requires a commitment to take a risk, and be courageous. Maive and Tara talk about the commitment to ideas, and a commitment to a mode of writing. And why that commitment matters to the form and content of research.
How do supervisors provide the context, the frame and the shape for student learning? One rather unusual method is creating a soundscape for supervisors and students to share. Tara and Maive talk about summoning 1975 through doctoral research and the power of supervisory soundscapes.
Maive, Tara and Jamie talk about how students can handle feedback, with attention to creating a record of learning for future publications and dissemnation. The also talk about the different modes of feedback for the artefacts and exegeses in doctoral education.
How do we think about, remember, summon and research a place that no longer exists? How do we understand an historic place? Maive, Tara and Jamie talk about a past of meaning, resonance and power, without nostalgia.
Maive and Tara talk about the importance of reading in rebooting and freshening a PhD process. Reading new ideas and research can transform not only the writing process, but how the thesis is structured.
Welcome to our first podcast, introducing Maive's PhD thesis. What is a creative PhD? How is she structuring her research?
Tara and Jamie talk about 'the suitcase scientist.' They explore the synchrotron and its role, not only in scientific discovery but also urban, regional and national development. How can mobile scientists enable mobile knowledge?
This is Tara's keynote presentation for the University of the Sunshine Coast. She was asked to talk about the PhD as a marathon - and how to complete it.
We are approaching the first anniversary of Schafer's death. The father of the 'soundscape', I take this moment and concept and probe the nature of higher education, and its soundcape. In a visual age, how can an auditory academic transform our universities?
Too often - we value 'golden rules': treat other people as you would like to be treated. But what about 'platinum rules'? Treat others as they want to be treated. This podcast is derived from a piece for the Times Higher Education on assisting new supervisors to supervise a PhD with rigour, care, expertise and compassion.
Tara was asked by the Times Higher Education to talk about happiness and higher education.
For this keynote presentation, Tara explores and develops the concept of claustropolitanism and its role in understanding a post-pandemic intern/nationalism. At the end of the world, what is the fate of globalisation?
Join us for a special session exploring Tara's 12 rules for (academic) life
