 *"Stories of Change"
Postgrad research (Honours, Masters, PhD and ECR) is often characterised by moments of significant change. This panel is about sharing and normalising the changes that happen during postgrad research. Members of the panel will share their experiences of change and resources that helped them manage. The panel will include:
- Current PhD Student
- Current International PhD Student
- PhD Supervisor
- PhD graduate employed in a non-academic career
- National Tertiary Education Union Representative
 
Please come and say hi on the day (we are a friendly bunch) or get in touch with us via twitter (@tasapostgrads) or email (postgraduates@tasa.org.au).
