I help build researcher communities and positive research cultures.
My work with The Research Whisperer and experience as a researcher developer means I’m regularly invited by other organisations to give talks, masterclasses, and workshops on a range of topics. You can see where my presentations have been and what they were about at the Research Whisperer’s RW Live page.
I give talks and workshops regularly for Deakin University researchers, and am happy to tailor sessions for particular Deakin groups – please contact me on t.khoo@deakin.edu.au.
The topic areas I present on and can be consulted about include:
RESEARCH COMMUNICATION and SOCIAL MEDIA
- Creating an effective digital research identity
- Blogging your research
- Building your reputation on social media
- Crafting your digital presence
- Creating a research communication strategy
EARLY CAREER RESEARCHER (ECR)
- Thinking about careers beyond academia
- Academic community-building
- Networking for researchers
- Effective research planning
- How to create and plan ECR development intensives (for research educators/developers)
FUNDING and GRANTS
- 5 rules of grant club: The basics of grantseeking
OTHER RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT TOPICS
- Ways to build research culture and community
- The basics of publishing in journals
- Planning themed research development events (for research educators/developers)
My work has most relevance for Early Career Researchers (ECRs), higher degree by research students, and those who support them. You can see a set of commonly requested workshops from Jonathan and I (as the Research Whisperers), OUTLINED HERE.
I am happy to be contacted about other possible presentations and workshops, and appreciate about six months notice. I usually charge a fee (in addition to travel expenses); this can be flexible. Contact me if you have something in mind: tseenkhoo@gmail.com.
