HDR Winter School returns in 2024 and will take place from 8-10 July at QUT Kelvin Grove campus.
The program has been designed in collaboration with our HDR students to assist you in your research journey, combined with some great opportunities to network with other students, academics, industry and QUT alumni working in diverse fields.
HDR Winter School 2024 is open to QUT and non-QUT HDR students, and it is possible to register for a single day of the program.
The program offers some concurrent sessions. You will be contacted prior to the commencement of Winter School to elect your preferred session.
Feedback from previous programs
“I most enjoyed the wide variety of research methodologies explored, and the range of interesting, well-informed presenters from multiple schools/fields.”
“I really enjoyed the space to reflect on and learn about a range of methodologies relevant to my research.”
“Inspiring! This has helped convince me that my ideas to use creative methods are not only possible, but also increases the potential my research can be activist and transformative – more so than just publishing journal articles.”
“I really enjoyed all the sessions and learned so much. My favourite would have to be Bridget Harris’ session about vulnerable research and the importance of protecting yourself mentally.”
“Important insights. Seeing Melissa’s networking laid out like that made it so clear. People say its important, but her talking through that visual made it so clear.”
“Yes! These sessions were particularly interesting to me as I am in the final year of my PhD. These sessions really helped me in thinking about myself as a researcher, rather than simply as a student.”
“Initially I was sceptical about the relevance of these creative workshops but they ended up being my favourite part! These sessions helped me think about my research and communication in general in a whole new way. Writing poetry out of my research was a really helpful way processing everything I’ve been reading, and a great way of communicating it to others without needing to give a detailed explanation. When Justice Jam was over, my friends and I took our poems back to the office and shared them with our fellow PhD students! We have since been discussing how we should have a poetry sharing group each month or so to encourage us to process our work, our data and our feelings about it all.”
“I really enjoyed opening my eyes to the possibilities of creative aspects of the research journey and loved composing a poem about my project.”
