IEAA Emerging Researchers | Spotlight on Emerging Researchers in international education

This webinar will be chaired by Associate Professor Amanda Daly and spotlights the work of two Australia-based emerging international education researchers: Dr Elena Williams and Dr Anna Kent.

Dr Elena Williams is the recipient of IEAA’s 2025 Excellence Award for an Outstanding Postgraduate Thesis awarded at the Australian International Education Conference in October 2025. In this webinar, Elena will provide an overview of her doctoral research which focused on understanding the impact of study abroad programs on Australia-Indonesia relationship-building.

Dr Anna Kent is a current National Library of Australia (NLA) Fellow for her project entitled ‘Shared histories, shared communities – a history of connections between International Students and the Australian Community’. Anna will outline this project for webinar participants and provide additional information about the NLA Fellowship program.  

This webinar is open to IEAA Members and non-members and is free of charge. We encourage you to share this information with peers and colleagues who are emerging international education researchers.
