In light of the challenging times facing the Australian university sector, we recognise that people may have limited funds to attend a face-to-face conference later this year or into 2021. Therefore, CRADLE Conference 2020 will be continuing as an online event. It will still take place from 19 to 20 October 2020.

We’re pleased that a recording of Margaret’s seminar is now available.
Two of my favourite pieces on writing share the same title: “Air and Light and Time and Space”. The first is a poem by Charles Bukowski. In it, he attacks the idea that a writer might need to find the right conditions to write – the air, light, time and space: no baby, if you’re […]
On February 28, 2020, I was excited to see that my paper ‘Developing Evaluative Judgement: Enabling students to make decisions about quality of work’ had reached 100 citations on Google Scholar. It’s been just over 3 years since it was published early online and, at that time, I wasn’t sure if my colleagues were just […]

An engaged audience joined us for our second entirely online CRADLE seminar, as Prof. Margaret Bearman (CRADLE) explored how practice theory can inform conceptual and empirical work into higher education research.
