In this session we hear from Monash graduates with PhDs in media, film or journalism who have pursued careers outside university teaching and research roles. A PhD offers high level expertise in the field of study but it also equips graduates with so much more, whether research skills, project management or exceptional communication and critical abilities. We will hear from a panel of Monash alumni about their experiences in speaking to employers about the value of their PhD, transferring skills gained in graduate research and what they wish they had known earlier in their career path.

The session includes afternoon tea and a great chance to network with those in attendance.

Guest Panellists include Dr Erin Bradshaw (Visitor Research Officer - Tourism, Phillip Island Nature Parks). Dr Amy Gibbs (Senior Manager in Transformation Consulting, Scyne Advisory), Sarinah Masukor (Screenwriter, Foal)

Moderator: Shane Henry (PhD Student, School of Media, Film and Journalism, Monash University)
