Creative Careers in Academia
As part of The University of Auckland’s Postgraduate Week, the National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries presents a lively evening of presentations, showcasing the research interests of our current staff and postgraduate students.
Presentations will be presented Pecha Kucha-style where each speaker must present their topic using 20 slides, with only 20 seconds of speaking allowed for each slide.
The topics presented during the evening will showcase the diversity within our faculty, highlighting how academic careers have the ability to be applied to a range of disciplines in the creative arts and industries.
