Are you interested in practicing your APSAD conference presentation in front of a small friendly audience who will listen and give you a few tips? Following the positive feedback we have received for our practice sessions held at previous APSAD Conferences, the APSAD Early-to-Mid Career Researchers (EMCR) Subcommittee is excited to host two practice sessions. Members of the EMCR Subcommittee will be there to cheer you on and provide support and feedback (if requested). As this event has limited capacity, places will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Monday 10 November 5:35pm - 7:00pm

This interactive session will explore what it means to disrupt in academia, from challenging traditional pathways, to redefining research impact, to innovating how we share knowledge. A dynamic panel featuring Tim Piatkowski, Tracey McIntosh, Lynette Bullen, Kylie Lee, and Rose Crossin will share their perspectives on academic disruption, followed by an audience Q&A. The evening will begin with welcome drinks, and after the panel discussion there will be networking and canapés.
