While doing HDR research is usually seen as an achievement and a positive, there are also dips, slips and flips encountered along the way that can be hard to deal with. At some stage, most postgrads experience some troubling times in ‘The Dark Academy’.

The Dark Academy is the shadow side of university work – the less-spoken-of ‘tales from the crypt’. Dark Academy issues vary greatly, from isolation, rejection, being disrespected or taken advantage of, imposter syndrome, dealing with difficult supervisors and/or tricky personalities, grappling with inflated expectations or publishing perils, all the way through to various forms of bullying.

While there are some good resources and services at Griffith to help with such issues, many postgrads are unsure, unconfident or do not want to access institutional help. In this situation, connecting with other postgrads in an informal and supportive space can be really helpful.

This 2-hour session is a unique candidate-led forum to air, share and manage some of the ‘sticky moments’ experienced at Griffith Uni. Some ideas discussed will be familiar to participants – others will serve as a warning. This session is run by Nina Ginsberg and is an academic staff-free, independent space that not only identifies key problem areas but also provides strategies on how to more productively and professionally handle them.

This session has 3 parts:
1) A Keynote Presentation: The Dark Academy and how to survive it,
2) An open discussion/Q & A, and
3) break out rooms for small group discussions.

HDR participants will leave this event with some new HDR contacts, a selection of useful ideas and strategies, and a renewed feeling of confidence moving forward.

“Imagine this: You hop onto the boat, eager to set sail. Soon we head out into all things blue with endless views. For the next few hours, you can escape to another world, visit an island, look for marine life, go paddle boarding, eat delicious food, and watch a sunset like no other. Brush aside your other weekend plans as our day and sunset cruises are an experience you don’t want to miss”.

More spots have opened up for the Morton Bay sailing cruise! Please see all information and rego via the link in bio, or here: https://gupsa.org.au/gupsa-event/sailing-cruise-moreton-bay/

IDAHOBIT is TOMRROW! It is a day to show support and raise awareness against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia and Transphobia.

Griffith SRC will be showing our support by holding an event on the 17th May from 11-2pm outside the Goanna Lounge (Nathan), and breaking down how to be a good ALLY to those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

We’ll have personalised badge making and LGBTQIA+ resources, The Griffith University Rainbow Society will be there and there will be a chance to catch up over some lunch. If you can't attend the event at Nathan, we would encourage you to recognise the importance of IDAHOBIT in your own way.

We hope to see you at Nathan for IDAHOBIT! 🏳️‍🌈
