ANZSOC’s Postgraduate and Early Career Researcher (ECR) Representative, Dr Lisa Wheildon, is launching a new online seminar series tailored specifically to address the unique challenges and opportunities facing ECRs.“We want to create a supportive space where ECRs can learn practical skills, share experiences, and build meaningful connections with others in the field,” she explains.
Lisa understands that the early stages of an academic career can be overwhelming and exciting. “Every ECR deserves access to the support and resources needed to thrive in this environment.”
“The series will cover everything from promoting your research and reviewing journal papers to navigating the job market—and, just as importantly, how to maintain well-being and build collaborative relationships while doing it!”
These sessions will run monthly or bi-monthly (frequency to be determined based on your feedback) and will feature diverse speakers, including senior researchers, journal editors, and professionals from academic and non-academic sectors.
Help Shape This Initiative!
This seminar series is being created for you and with you. To make it truly valuable, we need your input:
“This initiative belongs to the ECR community,” Lisa emphases. “Your suggestions will directly shape the content of these sessions.”
Ready to contribute? Email your ideas to Dr Lisa Wheildon at lisaw@ntv.org.au by March 31. The first seminar is planned for April, so your timely input will help us create a program that meets your needs.
Stay tuned for the inaugural session announcement coming soon!!

We, the members of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology (ANZSOC), acknowledge the traditional custodians of Australia and the sovereignty of the Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand.
ANZSOC would like to acknowledge the ongoing Traditional Custodians of the lands for which our constituents conduct their teaching, learning, and research. We would like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and the lands, now called Australia, continue to belong to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the Traditional custodians of the lands. ANZSOC would like to pay respects to the Elders who have passed on the legacy of knowledge and culture to the future generations and acknowledge that the future generations hold the hope, the stories and the continued knowledge for current and emerging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. May this knowledge through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing guide you with wisdom and courage.
ANZSOC also recognises iwi Māori and their unceded right to tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty) and their expression of mana motuhaka (self-determination). We acknowledge mātauranga Māori (Māori ways of being and knowing) informs both traditional and contemporary knowledge production and its ability to enhance our collective futures.
The Association acknowledges the consequences and harms that continue to be inflicted by the criminal justice systems of Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand on Indigenous peoples in the region and seeks through its activities to address these harms and to work to prevent them from continuing in the future.
