The stories will be used to create a series of short videos and photographs to promote the Women’s Health and Wellbeing Program and Inquiry into Women’s Pain. These will be shared using Department of Health and other government agency social media channels. We may also ask you to share your story as part of news stories, podcasts and speaking engagements.

Call for student research projects
The school offers major and minor thesis projects to our postgrad Masters students across all three teaching trimesters. This is a great opportunity to engage in research supervision in an area relevant to your current research, or a topic area you have a strong interest and plan to move in to, even if you don’t yet have a PhD. It is good for the CV, good preparation for research degree supervision, and can put you and your research team on the radar for students who might contemplate going on to a PhD. It also often generates published work that’s also good for your CV as you transition from supervisor to co-author, and adds to the capacity of your group and the research momentum.
- A major thesis project is similar to an honours year where students generally complete a full research project including a literature review, data collection and analysis, and write up. These students have to prepare an academic publication. These projects are completed over two trimesters. We usually have 1 o 2 supervisors per student.
- A minor thesis project is smaller in scale. Students take their major project across one or two trimesters (T1/T2/T3). The students generally complete literature review or analyse secondary data or complete a policy review. Depending on the nature of the project, the student may prepare an academic publication. In general, there is 1 supervisor per student, but there can be 2, or you might have a couple of students working in individual but related projects.
Attached you will find a project proposal template to complete for each project offered. You will also find a checklist that contains the guidelines pertaining to the different types of projects that can be offered to students. To avoid delays, where possible, you are encouraged to submit ethics applications prior to your student commencing a Major project, especially if you require high risk clearance.
We are always keen to encourage new supervisors to offer projects. To assist you in considering this, Fiona Andrews ran a workshop last year that you can access via the School SharePoint: Research-Seminars (sharepoint.com) scroll down to Research Training 2023 and you will find it. If you would like further information, or you have a project idea you would like to discuss, please contact Fiona Andrews.
If you have a project or projects you would like to offer, please complete the template and return to Fiona Andrews fiona.andrews@deakin.edu.au by email at your earliest convenience.
