Pre-conference Postgraduate Workshop on 27 November, 2017
In conjunction with the 22nd NZASIA Conference, we will offer postgraduate students the opportunity to participate in a pre-conference workshop,
This workshop provides a forum for students to to discuss their research, exchange ideas, and explore career pathways both in the academia and in the broader national/international communities. The workshop is free and open only to postgraduate students who have registered and paid for the main conference. Numbers are limited and applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

The workshop will include two sessions:
Session I: Professional (non-Academic) Pathways
The ASIA NZ Foundation will run this session. Topics covered: Track II, media, education, business, and many other areas in which PhD and "serious" expertise in Asia is needed in NZ.
