PhD (with Publication) & PhD by Prior Publication

Today Dr Van Tran, Marie Ireland and I were invited speakers at the Faculty of Arts and Education Research Cafe titled "PhD (with Publication) & PhD by Prior Publication". We were able to share our experiences and suggestions. Here is the YouTube recording of the session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swAddi5ssVo

I'm very proud of all my students achieve during their PhDs. Here is the summary of the session

Please join the School of Social Work and Arts Research Committee for a Research Café about PhD (with Publication) & PhD by Prior Publication. The Café will be of interest to all academic staff and potential PhD candidates. PhD with Publication and PhD by Prior Publication are excellent pathways for those wanting to pursue an academic career and candidates who want to reach a wide audience by disseminating their PhD research, by publication, whilst completing their degree. The Café will provide information about these pathways at CSU and feature a panel of supervisors and graduates who have firsthand experience of the merits and challenges involved.
