Facilitated by Associate Professor Alice Brown
Join Associate Professor Alice Brown from the School of Education and the Creative Arts for an engaging, practical workshop on the 5C Formula—a focused framework for communicating the purpose, significance and direction of your research with confidence.
- Concern: Explain why the research matters—the “so what?”
- Common Ground: Establish the context and shared understanding
- Crack in Knowledge: Define the gap, tension or unresolved problem
- Contribution: Articulate the value and originality of your research
- Course of Action: Present a clear and credible methodological approach
Use the 5Cs as a practical, repeatable tool to structure and strengthen research abstracts, proposals, confirmation documents, thesis summaries and publications.
Designed for HDR candidates at every stage, this hands-on session will help you shape and refine your research with greater clarity, coherence and purpose. Whether you are developing an early idea, preparing for Confirmation of Candidature, or polishing your thesis for submission, you will leave with a stronger abstract or summary that communicates your research clearly and persuasively.
