HDR Colloquium

Principal speaker

Dr Inger Mewburn

Following the tradition of the former Griffith Institute for Social and Behavioural Research, and the event hosted in 2011, the Griffith Social and Behavioural Research College will host an HDR Colloquium for higher degree by research students in the humanities, social and behavioural science research community.

In 2013 the guest speaker will be Dr Inger Mewburn, who from 2006 was a research fellow specializing in the field of doctoral education at RMIT and is now the Director of Research Training at the Australian National University.  Aside from editing and contributing to the Thesis Whisperer, she writes scholarly papers, books and book chapters about research student experiences.


The Thesis Whisperer is a newspaper style blog dedicated to helping research students everywhere which is published once a week and is edited by Dr Mewburn in her spare time.

During her time in professional architectural practice, Inger worked at Styant-Browne Architects, Ashton Raggatt McDougall, Lyons and Mirvac P/L. Her interactive digital art work has appeared in magazines and exhibitions around the world including Melbourne, the UK, France, Greece, Austria, China and the USA.
