HDR Pre-Forum Workshop 2023
Friday 4th August 2023
4-6 pm
WAIER is proud to present our third HDR pre-Forum workshop. Designed to connect our educational research candidates across all Western Australian tertiary institutions this two-hour workshop delivered in two parts, is an opportunity to connect, share and be inspired.
Part 1 will look at publishing in the Conversation and other media engagement as an education researcher i.e. radio interviews, articles in newspapers to improve reach and impact of your work. This will be followed by a panel discussion focused on innovative and progressive research methods.
Part 2 will see participants sharing their research (be prepared to talk about your research for approx. 5 minutes). The aim is to network, create cross-institution communities of practice and celebrate the skills that undertaking research at this level develops. This will be followed by a group dinner (own cost) for those that want to continue the conversations and network with fellow researchers.
Facilitated by Dr Saul Karnovsky

Saul is an experienced pre-service teacher educator and early career researcher, specialising in the fields of teacher emotions, pedagogy, professional ethics, and classroom management. His recently completed thesis explored pre-service teacher emotions in learning to teach. This research draws upon post-structural theory to examine how emotions emerge within the modern neo-liberal contexts of schooling from the historical, social, and political processes in which they are enacted. Embracing an alternative ontological space, Saul seeks to deeply engage with new ideas and different theoretical perspectives of education. His current research interests are in supporting schools and pre-service teachers to provide open and understanding spaces for educators to address emotional labour in a professional and ethical manner.

Judy’s research focuses on social and cognitive interaction for learning and development, and ways to create effective learning environments in a range of educational and community contexts. Key areas of interest revolve around collaborative learning and teaching, professional learning, motivational change and development, intergenerational exchange and mentoring. Judy uses socio-cultural theories to frame her research using mixed methods.
Her career at Murdoch began in 1993 as a lecturer in educational psychology, while completing a doctorate in Education. In 2001-2002 she was Academic Chair of the Initial Teacher Education program, then Academic Chair of Research and Postgraduate Studies before appointment as Dean of Education from 2009 -2013. Prior to gaining Emeritus in 2021, Judy supervised her 30th student through a successful thesis examination. She continues to supervise research students and support early career academics.
His research focuses on sociological, organisational and equity dynamics of educational leadership practice and preparation. Most recently, that has led to exploration of how leadership influences (and is influenced by) social justice, racism, globalisation and extremism. Professor Brooks’ research has taken place in the United States, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. During these endeavours, he won two J. William Fulbright Scholarships to study educational leadership for social justice, in Thailand and the Philippines. Professor Brooks stated,
‘I believe that high-quality research, culturally relevant teaching and proactive leadership for social justice can improve children’s lives and educational experiences. To me, nothing is more important. I also believe strongly that it is my responsibility as an educator to create professional opportunities for students, educators and other scholars.’

WAIER is very excited to announce a new partnership with the South Australian Institute for Education Research (SAIER) and the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) to offer a series of FREE methodologies webinars. The webinars will be presented by Emeritus Professor Barry Down, Associate Professor Peter Wright and Dr Christine Cunningham.
Critical inquiry attempts to expose complex, intersecting power relations that both
privilege and oppress. At heart, it is concerned with issues of fairness, equity, and the
struggle for socially just schools. The presentation will draw on several school-based
ethnographies and lessons from the field, providing an overview of critical qualitative
research.
A brief overview of research in complex environments and several processes of
sense-making and pluralistic approaches to research. Drawing on a specific project,
Peter will directly speak to the progressive removal of uncertainty in a climate of
‘outcomes and impact’, and the framing devices that can enable us to plan, enact and
share our research insights.
Arguably, many early career researchers struggle with the epistemological and lexical
quagmire of judging qualitative research. In this presentation Christine hopes to
discuss her research team’s work using transnational research methodologies and
focus in on the qualitative data gathering methods we have used successfully to
access Chinese participants inside the People’s Republic and Bolivian participants in
a remote region of South America. Then I offer some suggestions on how we might
judge the quality of this type of cross-cultural, multilingual research from both a
critical and qualitative perspective.
