Tara Brabazon podcast

Well, the project has progressed. Narelle, Jamie and Tara start to sharpen the field and literature of literacy feeding into her disciplinary literacy research. And yes - a breakthrough.

Tara Brabazon and Jamie Quinton unpick a flippant comment made by a senior Australian academic. She dismissed the relationship between undergraduate teaching and learning and PhD supervision.

But is there a relationship? Should there be a relationship? How is this relationship rendered meaningful?

The right woman. The right time. The right project. Every now and again, a remarkable researcher transforms a field. Listen to Narelle Hunter explore how disciplinary literacy can transform the teaching, learning and researching of science.

Tara talks with completed PhD students and scholars just at the cusp of submission. How do you finish? How does the PhD end? A powerful moment in understanding the endings.

The PhD examination is a dark art. But how are they examined? What does examination mean in the PhD space? This podcast between Natalie Hills and Tara Brabazon - and the remarkable students at Flinders University - enters this complex and mysterious doctoral space.

This podcast matters. So much goes wrong in the PhD candidature. Let's tell those stories. And let's explore how to improve the life and research of these students.

Tara conducts an end-of-seminar discussion with PhD students about their aspirations and hopes for a PhD supervisor. Evocative. Provocative. Convincing.

Jamie and Tara talk about that key moment in education: the transition from high school to university. That first year of university is difficult. Attrition rates are high. What can be done to support, scaffold and enable first year university students? Jamie explores the specific challenges confronting science students, while Tara probes the impact on teachers and teacher education.

Tara and Jamie Quinton talk about pencasting, and the Livescribe. Many of us tried the smartpen a decade ago - but a new version has just been released. But why use a smartpen? Why did it fail a decade ago? Why could it succeed now?

And what is a pencast? Is this a moment in the history of sonic media?

Tara presents this flipped Professional Development training session for supervisors on 'authorship.' One of the most volatile, nasty and complex parts of higher education, this session explores the new code of conduct and strategies to manage co-authorship.
