Prize winning PhD studied interactions between domestic and international students
In 2024, REDI PhD graduate Dr Manaia Chou-Lee won the Outstanding Thesis Award from the International Education Association of Australia (IEAA). Her thesis, ‘Domestic students and internationalisation at home in Australian secondary schools’, is a unique study on internationalisation at home in the school sector from the perspectives and experiences of domestic students. It highlights an issue of major relevance to researchers, teachers, practitioners, and policy makers – that while there was evidence of engagement between domestic and international students, reciprocal relationships were rarely formed. Find out about Manaia’s PhD project.
Scholarship opportunities
HDR Scholarship – Youth Side-Hustles
A PhD scholarship is available to work on an Australian Research Council-funded project exploring youth ‘side-hustles’. The project explores young people who pursue employment-adjacent entrepreneurial activities, i.e. those who have both a job and a ‘side-hustle’.
Applications will remain open until a candidate has been appointed.
