Skills for New Historians Seminar: The DECRA
We are pretty excited to announce the next instalment in our “Skills for New Historians” seminar series! We’ve already had two great sessions on Digital Histories and Book Proposals, with generous speakers giving valuable information to our attendees. Thanks to all those who have participated so far! If you’d like to catch up on the sessions, they’ve both been recorded and will be uploaded to the new AHA website, to be launched soon! Stay tuned — we’ll announce when the the website is ready and the recordings are able to be viewed. (Note: member log-in required.)
For our next seminar, we’re turning our attention to another part of ECR life that we all hear a lot about and know is important, but can be difficult to navigate: the DECRA. Yep, we’re talking ARC funding. You may have read the posts on this blog about “Dismembering the DECRA“, but want even more information, more transparency. Just what is the DECRA? How do you get one? Why is it so important? Who are the College of Experts, and what do they do? Our panel of speakers will share their perspectives to answer these questions and more:
- Professor Bronwen Neil, Executive Director of Humanities and Creative Arts, ARC (on secondment from the Department of Ancient History at Macquarie University) with Debbie Kirchner (ARC)
- Professor Amanda Nettelbeck, Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences at ACU, and member of the ARC College of Experts
- Dr Emma Gleadhill, Faculty of Arts Research Officer at Macquarie University
- Dr Tristan Moss, School of Humanities and Social Sciences at UNSW, and recent DECRA recipient
Details:
