Graduate research
The collaboration would love to hear from current or prospective graduate research students undertaking study related to the emerging field of Indigenous-settler relations.
The ISRC can assist with:
- Identifying potential supervisors
- Support with application processes
- Engaged research support for existing PhD and Masters by Research students
- Networking opportunities with collaborators
We encourage students at all levels to subscribe to our mailing list to hear of other opportunities to get involved with the collaboration.
Interdisciplinary Graduate Research Program in Indigenous Settler Relations
The Indigenous Settler Relations Collaboration’s Interdisciplinary Graduate Research Program is open to graduate researchers in any faculty undertaking research related to the emerging field of Indigenous-settler relations in Australia and the world. The program will connect students with researchers across disciplines, fostering an engaged and supportive intellectual community, and creating a strong cohort experience for the duration of their study.
Eligible students must have commenced a PhD or Masters by Research.
Applications for the 2022 Program will open in November.
Reading group
The ISRC runs a reading group each semester. Our semi-regular meetings bring together graduate researchers, early career researchers and senior academics across myriad disciplines to discuss the chosen text, generating new ideas and relationships.
If you are interested in joining the ISRC reading group, email a few brief sentences about yourself and your research to I-SRC@unimelb.edu.au.
