Kun DaiThe Higher Education (HE) Research Group
The HE Research Group brings together HDR students exploring pedagogy and curriculum from the perspectives of university students and teaching staff. The group meets monthly to share practices, support each other with milestones and presentations, discuss topics of shared interest, and co-author journal papers and conference abstracts.
In 2021, the group facilitated a Roundtable at the HERDSA ‘Showcasing Higher Education Research and Scholarship’ event that attracted students from across Australia.
This group is coordinated by HDR students and aims to achieve inclusive and collaborative cross-cultural learning. Through engaging students and academics from different cultural backgrounds (e.g. Australia, China, India and Papua New Guinea), members embrace learning at the ‘cultural interface’ given the strength of diversity within the group.
UQ Summer/Winter Research Programs
The Summer and Winter Research Programs are coordinated by the Student Enrichment and Employability Development (SEED) team in conjunction with ITaLI and other schools/faculties/units at UQ.
The program is an opportunity for motivated UQ students (undergraduate, honours or master's by coursework) to participate in an educational research experience.
Benefits for staff include:
- collaboration helps identify new areas of exploration
- scholars can facilitate the process towards publication
- opportunity to identify potential Honours and HDR candidates
- gaining experience in supervising and mentoring students.

ITaLI currently offers the following project to prospective scholars in the 2021-22 Summer Research Progam:
