Emerging Scholars' Colloquium
This will be a one day forum for doctoral research degree students, new faculty and emerging researchers. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their research with peers and senior research faculty who will be leading the proceedings. Space will be limited, so applications for entry to the colloquium will be competitively assessed.
Colloquium Objectives
- To provide participants with research and mentoring in the fields and methodologies relevant to the APIRA 2001 conference.
- To provide networking opportunities between emerging scholars.
- To provide opportunities for emerging scholars to present their current work for discussion in a small group setting.
Colloquium Faculty
Colloquium Site
The colloquium will be held in the ground floor seminar and meeting rooms of the School of Commerce adjacent to the main conference site. Both these venues form parts of the Adelaide University campus in the heart of the city, close to all city centre facilities - shops, cafes, hotels, banks, etc.
The School of Commerce is situated in Security House, 233 North Terrace, Adelaide. North Terrace is Adelaide's so-called "cultural promenade" containing the Adelaide University main entrance, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum, the State Library, the State Governor's Residence and the State Parliament.
Colloquium Program
Plenary addresses and panels will be presented by participating senior faculty on a range of subjects which will include :
- areas of research need and opportunity
- research proposals and funding sources
- management of research and publishing projects
- personal research agenda management
Senior faculty will also lead groups in discussion of participants' own research work-in-progress or plans which will be presented in small supportive group settings.
Further opportunities for informal exchanges will occur over lunch and the evening dinner that closes the colloquium.
