Join fellow research students for an afternoon of conversation, connection, and scholarly exchange at St Francis College.
The Student Research Seminar provides an opportunity for research students to share their work in a supportive and encouraging environment. Whether you are just beginning your research journey, working through a particular challenge, or celebrating a recent breakthrough, this seminar offers a chance to speak about your research and engage with others who understand the joys and demands of academic study.
Presentations
The Student Research Showcase will feature two keynote presentations:
Lynette Kareta, "What helps Women Leaders to Flourish? Exploring the Organisational Culture of the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane"
Kate Gardiner, "An asexual aromantic reading of Song of Songs: Queering the Tradition"
Additionally, there will be presentations from students on the following topics:
Sonia Couchman, Writerly Identity and Religious Curriculum Writing
Allana Wales, Inclusion in the Norms of God: Hidden Binaries and Apophatic Theology
Liam Carlton-Jones, The Politics of the Gospel of Luke
Tini Rimoni, Ecotheology and the Sabbath
Jess Grant, The Concept of Vocation in Secular Institutions
Research Presentations
Presentations will be informal, with each participant invited to speak for approximately 5 to 10 minutes on an aspect of their research. This might include your overall research question, a current area of focus, methodological challenges, key discoveries, or reflections on your progress. There is no expectation of presenting a completed or polished project.
Building a Research Community
Research can often be a solitary endeavour. This gathering aims to strengthen our community of researchers by providing an opportunity to listen to, learn from, and encourage one another in our work.
Register Your Interest
Research students who would like to attend and present are encouraged to register their interest. We look forward to hearing about the exciting research being undertaken across our community.
