We are very excited to announce that the The Conceptual PlayLab, Monash University in collaboration with KINDknow Centre, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences is hosting a free scholarly event to support PhD students.
Purpose International collaborations, networking and the building of research leadership
Theme Presenting scholarly research - Research in crisis contexts
Focus of the event
This event is designed to open up a space for dialogue on concepts used in a number of theoretical traditions. One of these traditions is cultural-historical theory, but there are other theoretical interpretations of crisis.
We welcome a broad range of theories for this event, and will cluster our presentations so that the concept of crisis can be shown in a diversity of ways (Day 1) and with a narrowing to cultural-historical framework (Day 2), culminating in a key presentation and discussion led by Dr Glykeria Fragkiadaki and Dr Prabhat Rai to bring together the 2 days.
Presenters and participants will collectively discuss concepts in relation to their empirical studies. The event aims to advance thinking on concepts and promote international exchange, international research community building and networking, and to actively support the development of research leadership skills.
Date 26th – 27th of November, 2020
Day 1 26th November, 2020: 7.30-9.05 am CEST (GMT+1) & 5.30-7.05 pm AEDT (GMT+11)

Presenters
Poster paper presenters will be organised to share their work in relation to a set of
questions – What is aim of your research? What is the method/concepts used? What is the
(expected) result? What impact can/do/could the results have? The discussant will ask these
questions and the poster presenter will respond to these questions (rather than give a
presentation).
Please email Yuwen Ma or Yuejiu Wang if in Australia or Maria Grindheim if in Norway to express your interest in participating in this exciting 2 part day event.
