HDR Thesis Proposal Review Seminar

This Thesis Proposal Review seminar presents the rationale and planned approach for a thesis project titled Exploring the effectiveness of Australia’s skilled migration policy: successes, challenges and unexpected outcomes . Migration in Australia contributed more to the population growth rate than natural increase between 2006 and 2020, and at the 2021 Census around one-third of Australia’s population were overseas-born. Key changes in the Australia’s migration policy in the mid-1990s saw a shift towards prioritising skilled migration visa categories over family visa categories. The aims of this study are to explore whether skilled migration policies address the problems they are aimed at, and the broader demographic outcomes for the Australian population from a migration policy that selects people based on the occupation of the applicant. The project proposes analysing three aspects of migration in Australia from 1996 onwards. Firstly, examining outcomes in the ICT and Nursing occupations targeted by the skilled migration program; secondly, examining settlement and employment outcomes for of Australian citizens who have returned from living overseas; and thirdly, examining the demographic characteristics of secondary applicants to the “primary” applicant skilled migrant. It will contribute to knowledge about the performance of skilled migration policies in achieving their stated objectives, and the impact on migration categories not specifically targeted by the policies.

Erin Daly is a PhD candidate at the School of Demography. Erin completed her Masters of Social Research (Advanced) at the Australian National University in 2016.

This semester, we invite all of our guests to bring their lunch and join us for a casual social gathering before the seminar. Unless otherwise advertised, lunch will be held in the seminar room from 12.30pm with the seminar commencing at 1.00pm.

HDR Thesis Proposal Reviews (STEM)

The Thesis Proposal Review (TPR) outlines the what, why and how of your research. As the first major milestone for PhD students, the TPR is important for convincing your School that you understand the process of scholarly enquiry, and that you have a project that is both viable and feasible. In this workshop, relevant research proposals from STEM are analysed to better understand their purpose and key components. Discuss and develop strategies for planning, structuring and writing your own proposal.

Thesis proposal review: securing the energy rights of remote first nations households.

• Description

Event details

RE&D Research Seminar

Date & time

Household prepayment requires payment in advance for electricity services and is ubiquitous in remote First Nations communities yet banned in most populous regions of Australia due to the disruption it causes vulnerable groups. In remote communities, prepay is associated with high risks of household energy insecurity and fewer household rights and protections than are afforded to other Australian households, demonstrating that the essential energy needs of these communities are being chronically neglected. The potential for further marginalization is exacerbated in the context of climate change and Australia’s energy transition, as reliance upon household heating and cooling grows with increasing temperature extremes, and First Nations communities struggle to have their interests recognised and served by settler colonial states. While existing energy policies operate to entrench disparities faced by communities, there are also opportunities for change evident in the advocacy work of community-led organisations and national and sub-national policy agendas such as the First Nations Clean Energy Strategy.

This PhD research seeks to interrogate how rapidly changing energy policies in Australia are serving or undermining the energy needs of remote First Nations communities. It is being conducted in partnership with First Nations organisations, whose work interfaces with the energy, social and health needs of their communities. Through mixed methods, the research seeks to identify how policy can best support household energy access in remote First Nations communities and future energy systems that align with community priorities and needs. This TPR seminar provides a first opportunity to present the conceptual framework for the research based in intersecting theories of decoloniality, energy justice, energy sovereignty and the right to energy and to explore the four primary studies which will contribute to the active policy work of partner organisations and form the basis for a thesis by compilation output with policy impact.

Sally Wilson is a PhD candidate at the Crawford School of Public Policy with prior experience as a lawyer. Most recently she has been working as part of an interdisciplinary research team at the Australian National University focusing on energy insecurity and related issues in the energy transition. Her research interests focus on energy justice issues. In 2022, Sally was awarded the Garnaut Prize for highest achievement in the Master of Climate Change.

Thesis Proposal Review: Predictive performance of cardiovascular risk prediction models, contextual effects, and hotspots of cardiovascular risks in Ethiopia

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death throughout the world. CVD deaths steadily increased and reaching 18.6 million in 2019. One third of all global deaths is due to CVD. More than 75% of these CVD deaths takes place in resource limited settings.  

In Ethiopia, because of limited chronic disease surveillance and inadequate screening, patients often visit health institutions at the late onset of the diseases and have little chance of survival. Early detection of CVD risks is crucial. Laboratory based risk scores are expensive. Creating and validate CVD risk score is often challenging because no cohort studies have conducted in this resource limited settings. Very few studies conduct in Ethiopia on CVD risks and CVD risk modeling. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess predictive performance of cardiovascular risk prediction models, contextual effects, and hotspots of cardiovascular risks in Ethiopia.
