International Doctoral Research Seminar, 2024

The Werklund School of Education is proud to partner with the Faculties/Schools of Education at Beijing Normal University (BNU) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT), in promoting research collaborations among doctoral students and faculty members at the three universities. This initiative involves a joint annual International Doctoral Research Seminar hosted by partner universities in alternate years. In November 2024, the seminar will be held at Queensland University of Technology.

Theme: The Emancipatory Power of a Doctoral Education

Dates: November 4-8, 2024

Location: Queensland University of Technology (QUT)

The 2024 Doctoral Research Seminar creates opportunities for doctoral students to think about their research and research education through a lens of emancipatory power that goes beyond agency and builds capacity to see and act on opportunities for change. In the 2024 Doctoral Research Seminar, we will collectively explore how a Doctoral Education offers opportunities for becoming an emancipatory researcher with an appetite for different ways of thinking, evident through an openness to diverse methodologies and methods, to challenging conventional systems of knowledge, to the possibility for offering alternative structures alongside critical analysis and deconstruction, or to questioning epistemological, ontological, and axiological practices and assumptions.
