A Scholarship to the value of $28,000, funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) as part of the Discovery Project, ‘The Value of Craft Skills to the Future of Making in Australia has been developed to provide a talented student wishing to pursue Honours year study, the chance to deepen their research expertise and to provide a platform on which to launch their career following the completion of tertiary study.
The Honours researcher will be responsible for undertaking research and writing a thesis, addressing Project Research Question 4: To what degree have craft-based making skills been gained through informal rather than formal (higher education) educational training networks, and how is this best replicated moving forward?

The recipient will benefit from being a part of the research team on a funded national study providing research experience relevant to their degree; through being awarded a competitive scholarship that adds value to their CV; potential for professional referee/s and establishment of professional networks and contacts.
