Pitching and Writing Masterclass: How to write for influential 'non-experts', including industry, the media & grant assessors
Tuesday 31st October 2017, University of Melbourne
Do you know how to tailor and target your work to gain the attention of people beyond your own peers – including politicians, the media, industry, and funding assessors? Can you write about your research in a clear, concise and compelling way?
Join us for a day of tailored training with one of The Conversation's most senior editors: Sunanda Creagh, NSW Bureau Chief and Digital Storytelling Editor.
Each session is limited to 20 participants and can be tailored to suit academics at all levels, from senior leaders to early career researchers or PhD candidates. Before each session, participants must submit a short summary or “pitch” about their work to develop further during the masterclass. Selected pitches will be shared with the rest of the class for group and individual feedback. By the end of the day, participants will know what to do before contacting the media or industry about their work, and how to make more people value the significance of their research.
Registrations for this session close on Friday 6th October.
Fees and Registration

Personhood, decision making and choice: Frameworks for upholding rights with people with disabilities
31st October 2017, 9am-4pm, Deakin University, Deakin University - Disability, Inclusion and Advocacy Unit
What does it mean to be a PERSON with a disability in Australia? How can human rights be used to inform approaches to support? What does supported decision making mean and how can it be applied in supporting choice and control? How does the idea of 'belonging' change the way we see community inclusion?
In this Masterclass, participants will explore these questions and engage with ideas on personhood, human rights and supported decision making. Frameworks for practice informed by these ideas will be presented and applied to two key life areas, health and sexuality.
Who should attend? The landscape of the disability sector in Australia is changing. The idea of who ‘works in disability’ is also shifting. Professionals from a broad range of disciplines are now working in areas where a contemporary understanding of disability is needed to inform their work. This masterclass is designed for people new to disability policy and practice, and for those who want to update their knowledge and skills to align with the current rights informed environment.
Who is running the Masterclass? The masterclass will be co-facilitated by Deakin University researchers, Professor Susan Balandin, Chair of Disability and inclusion, Dr Patsie Frawley, Dr Joanne Watson, Hon Professor Kelley Johnson as well as Professor Gerard Quinn from the National University of Ireland. Presenters with lived experience of disability will co-facilitate the class.

2017 Griffith Health and MenziesHIQ ECR Seminar Series
Responsible Conduct of Research and Planning for Success presented by Dr Gary Allen
Tuesday 26 September
10.30-11.30 am
Griffith University N78_2.30 (Nathan campus) or via video conference M10_5.04, L08_1.07, G34_1.04 and G16_4.09
Research integrity missteps can have impacts that can damage the reputation of researchers to a degree that can last for decades. Knowing where not to publish is an essential skill for early career researchers, arguably especially since the disappearance of the Beall's List. The challenges confronting collaborating researchers may become even thornier if the mooted changes to the Australian Code for the responsible Conduct of Research are implemented in 2018. This one hour workshop will discuss the current pitfalls and traps, as well as likely impacts when the Australian Code is updated. The workshop will also suggest good strategies to avoid painful problems.
Dr Gary Allen has been working in the human research ethics and research integrity spheres since 1997 and has worked with institutions in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and Vietnam. Gary is a member of the national committee that is reviewing and updating the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research and he chaired the committee that drafted the new 'components of ethical design' chapter of the National Statement. He is a former member of the National Health and Medical Research Council's Health Ethics Committee. Gary is an associate member of the Committee On Publication Ethics (COPE) and is a frequent presenter on research integrity matters, Outside of Griffith University Dr Allen works as a consultant and edits the Research Ethics Monthly.
