Complex identities: Navigating transdisciplinary research as PhDs and ECRs

Join us for this ITD Alliance Oceania Regional Network Webinar and open discussion ("Talanoa")! Gain insights on the complexities of transdisciplinary research for PhD students and Early Career Researchers and meet new colleagues from across the Oceania region.

Conducting transdisciplinary research is a significant challenge for seasoned academics, but for PhD students and Early Career Researchers (ECRs), there is the additional challenge of nurturing their emerging academic identity within (often indifferent or even hostile) institutional settings. Six PhDs/ECRs will explore the challenges and opportunities they have faced as they develop their academic identities in a variety of research fields and institutional situations. Download the flyer for details and panel biographies.

The event will be hosted and moderated by Iain Gordon, Honorary Professor with the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University, and Linda Wilson, a PhD student in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Western Australia.

This hour-long webinar will be followed by a 30-minute open discussion – a Talanoa – where you can connect with others across Oceania who are passionate about inter- and transdisciplinarity. A recording of the webinar will be available from the ITD Alliance Oceania Regional Network web page after the event.
