Regional and Dispersed (R&D) Hub

This Hub aims to support screen studies scholars who may experience geographic or institutional isolation in their careers. Though all are welcome to attend R&D hub events, they are particularly designed with the following groups in mind:

  • Scholars living/working in regional areas or for regional universities;

  • Scholars in New Zealand;

  • Scholars who are not attached to a campus or who do not have a “home” institution;

  • Scholars working for institutions with very small (or even no) screen studies departments.

Most events for the R&D Hub will be run online. There will be a mix of events throughout the year, ranging from relaxed catch ups for building collegial and collaborative relationships between members to more formal workshops and seminars examining challenges specific to being regional and dispersed researchers.

If you have ideas or feedback that could help the R&D Hub better meet your needs as a regional or dispersed scholar, please contact the Hub Lead, Dr Andrew Couzens: a.couzens@cqu.edu.
