TARL Discussion 22 March 2024

My Archaeology – Learning & Teaching

Abstract/Description:

We are especially interested in present and past JCU students joining in to discuss what archaeology means to you? And, what you would like to learn and experience during your studies? What future career and aspirations do you have in, or related to, archaeology? We would love to hear from undergraduates and postgraduates alike.

This will also be an excellent opportunity for staff and industry professionals to share their past experiences of their university studies, but especially their advice and pointers on how students can gain experience and continue to learn beyond the University. What are the range of jobs out there for new graduates and how can they best put themselves in a position to successfully apply for these jobs?

Please join us:

Friday 22nd March, 2-3pm.  All are welcome to join in person: D003-003 (Nguma-bada - Cairns); 4-006 (Bebegu Yumba -Townsville)
