HDR Peer Network

March 3, 2020 – In light of Deakin Downtown’s closure due to COVID-19, the ‘First Fridays’ Seminar Series has been suspended until further notice.

In 2020, Deakin GSS invites HDR students to codesign a series of workshops. In these student-led spaces, we hope to cultivate writing groups, reading circles and presentations of emerging work, as well as grow a strong network of peers working in Gender and Sexuality Studies.

These are also social times where postgraduate students can share coffee or lunch and learn more about the work other people are engaged in.  

The HDR Peer Network meets on the First Friday of the month from 2-3:30pm at Deakin Downtown (727 Collins Street, Melbourne), followed by a GSS public seminar at 4pm. Participation in the workshop is free but registration is required.
