Comprising a series of conferences over the academic year, the Intertext, Urban Futures, Social Change, and Practice Research Symposia showcase the vital contributions from Higher Degree by Research candidates across the College of Design and Social Context.
The symposia celebrate the significant contributions of postgraduate researchers towards the advancement of knowledge and provide a platform for transdisciplinary collaboration and information exchange.
"Higher Degree by Research in the College of Design and Social Context is inherently interdisciplinary and focuses on making an impact in a variety of disciplines including the fields of art, communication, design, education, humanities, property and social sciences. With all candidates embedded in active research groups in their schools, disciplines, and the Enabling Impact Platforms, they are essential in the college's research ecology. At these events, candidates engage with and present to a wide research community allowing them to profile their research in a public forum while learning from others in overlapping disciplines".
- Dr Stephen Gaunson, DSC HDR Director
