While doing HDR research is usually seen as an ach 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 โ€˜The Dark Academyโ€™.

The Dark Academy is the shadow side of university work โ€“ the less-spoken-of โ€˜tales from the cryptโ€™. 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 โ€˜sticky momentsโ€™ experienced at Griffith Uni. Some ideas discussed will be familiar to participants โ€“ 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.
