About Spring School

This two-day event encourages candidates to explore their intellectual expansiveness while connecting and networking with peers, colleagues, and academics. It is an opportunity to come together, engage, and reflect on the big ideas shaping contemporary research, whilst supporting and learning from one another.

Sharing our Research | Friday 4 November

Day one will focus on expanding your thinking and will connect you with your peers and academics through a series of curated workshops, break out session and reading groups. Structure your day and select sessions that align with your research and candidature phase. Take this opportunity to grow, work with new mentors and be enlightened by content that enriches and challenges you.

Ways of Thinking | Saturday 5 November

Day two is our HDR student-led conference which encapsulates the interconnections and divergences of thought across fields of research in Arts and Education. It will encourage you to consider the very idea of thought, its conditions, conceptualisations and manifestations in theory, society, and the individual. Presenters will discuss the theme from the position of their research projects, which span the areas of education practice and ideology, film, media, philosophy, health, literature, creative writing, history and more.
