ANZCA are providing an exciting opportunity to present your research to an expert mentor in your field!

You will have the opportunity to present your post-graduate research to your chosen ‘expert’, who will mentor you providing commentary and publishing advice, as well as their own thoughts on broader research directions. By pairing communications experts with post-graduates, we hope to have a creative exchange of ideas, as well as opportunities to network and develop possible research relationships.

Prof Tom O’Regan (UQ)
Expertise: media policy, international film and television production; the contemporary film studio; audience development in the arts and media industries; and contemporary cultural policy.

Prof Gerard Goggin (UNSW)
Expertise: Internet, telecommunications, and digital communication and media in general; media policy and regulation; disability.
