CPOW HDR Monthly Network: Juggling Paid Research and Teaching Work Alongside Your Studies
Friday 30 April, 2021
This is a monthly meet-up for the CPOW HDR community.
On February 26, we held the first of our monthly CPOW HDR student get together events. This is an initiative to foster community and ongoing collegial support for HDR students affiliated with CPOW. We will continue to hold these events on the last Friday of every month and encourage students who are researching issues of fairness, equality, sustainability and social justice in the world of work and would like to have their profiles featured to get in touch.
The next CPOW HDR get together will take place on Friday 30 April, 1PM-2PM, focused on the topic of Juggling Paid Research and Teaching Work Alongside Your Studies. Speakers include Lisa Heap and Jacina Leong. Interested HDR students can email Lauren Gurrieri to be added to this and ongoing CPOW HDR Network events.
