Tara Brabazon discusses the worries, fears, and successes of PhD students. The podcast explores challenges like balancing publication pressure, personal life, and networking, time management strategies, confirmation of candidature, importance of publications, and transitioning from a student to a researcher.

Tara talks with Monica Lawrence about indigenous health. What creates social injustice? How can we create social change?

Tara's Step training session focuses on a minor part of the supervisory journey: the supervisory declaration at the point the thesis is about to be released to examiners. What is necessary as part of 'compliance' in the declaration, and what enables a transparent, reflexive and accountable examination process?
