Join us at the HDR workshop to learn from Melissa Wheeler and Zairul Nurshazana Zainuddin.

Melissa has a PhD in social psychology from the University of Melbourne, which explored how people persuade others to agree with their moral beliefs. She has an ongoing interest in the field of moral psychology and applied ethics, including workplace flexibility, gender roles in work and care, ethical climates, and responsible leadership. Melissa’s research has been published in top tier journals, including Leadership Quarterly, Journal of Business Ethics, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Cities, European Review of Social Psychology, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. She regularly contributes to Forbes, Psychology Today, and the Conversation on the topics of leadership strategy, the future of work, and applied ethics.

Zairul Nurshazana Zainuddin has a PhD in Accounting and Corporate Governance from Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, emphasised on the corporate response to the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018 and investigated the Act’s effectiveness after its three years of implementation. Aligned with the fifth key strategic priority of the Australian National Action Plan to Combat Modern Slavery 2020-2025, the opportunity to engage in research and gain insights from an academic perspective motivated her PhD study. Zairul recognised that her research outcome has proven to be pertinent and consequential for decision-makers.

The Postgraduate and HDR Student Workshop will be held at Santos Lecture Theatre, L1 Nexus, the University of Adelaide. There is no cost to attend the Postgraduate and HDR Student Workshop. This will also be offered in hybrid (i.e. face-to-face and online formats).

Expressions of interest, a short biography and/or research summaries should be sent to Chamila Perera at chamilaperera@swin.edu.au by 31 October 2024.
