I am delighted to be giving a keynote presentation at the 19th October Spring Encounters conference - on “Queer, feminist, and other critical theories: new lenses for urban spaces.”
Further details are available below. Thank you to APR for the kind invitation!
“Run by Alliance for Praxis Research (APR), one of our intentions is to nurture transdisciplinary collaborations across faculties, research programs and labs, as academics are often confronted with the challenges to break through disciplinary and institutional silos. That is significant for students and early careers, particularly when coming from overseas, who are not familiar with universities’ organisation of research centres and local networks of scholars - especially in Melbourne, where several leading universities are located but improvements on their interconnections are still much needed.
As a way to encourage more vibrant exchanges and collaborative knowledge production between fellows with related research interests, The Alliance (or APR) is organising and promoting the 2021 Spring Encounters, a space for HDRs and ECRs to network through a series of presentations led by a panel where HDRs can present and discuss their research with a broader audience. It is an HDR-led event for HDR candidates, hosted by Monash Art, Design and Architecture (MADA) and facilitated by Monash Graduate Association (MGA).”
