Internationalise your research or perish...???
Rhonda Sharp talks to HRISS researchers Victoria Carrington, Rob Hattam and Margaret Peters

Internationalising research is a goal of the research policy of this university. But what does this mean in practice? What are the implications for national and local research programs? This seminar provides a forum for examining the diverse ways in which HRISS researchers 'internationalise' their work at different stages of their careers and asks what role internationalisation should play in their research trajectory and the strategic directions of the institute.

Drawing on the working party report, Internationalising the research of the Hawke Research Institute by Margaret Peters and Rhonda Sharp, a panel of researchers will discuss the internationalisation of social science and humanities research from their lived experiences, and the benefits and constraints of internationalising one's research. They will canvas emerging issues in the form of policy changes and new opportunities for internationalising research.

Rhonda Sharp, Professor of Economics, HRISS, will provide a brief overview of the findings of the institute's report on internationalising research and chair the discussion. The panellists will be:

Victoria Carrington, Research SA Chair and Professor in HRISS Centre for Studies in Literacy, Policy and Learning Cultures
Robert Hattam, Associate Professor in the School of Education and HRISS key researcher
Margaret Peters, Acting Dean: Research Education in the Division of Education, Arts and Social Sciences, School of Communication and HRISS key researcher.
Seminar participants will be encouraged to join the conversation.

Drinks and nibbles will be provided.
