Welcome to The DSAA monthly webinar series!
Development is a dynamic space, bringing together research and practice across a range of disciplines. Our webinar series explores this diversity, bringing a new speaker who shares their expertise on a critical theme of interest every month. Each session will explore diverse topics, from building a CV for the international development sector to conducting community-based research and decolonising research practices. Through these interactive webinars, we aim to support HDR and ECR students in expanding their networks, gaining real-world insights, and advancing their academic and professional journeys.
Conversations are streamed live, every 3rd Wednesday of the month, with plenty of time for questions and answers. Our next online event will be on Wednesday 15 January 2025, with Dr Deborah Cummins Industry Member of the DSAA Executive Committee and Founder and Director of Bridging Peoples discussing Conducting community-based research outside academia.
