You can also send your CV, a piece of writing, or even an awkward networking situation to ovidalvelazquez at swin.edu.au<mailto:ovidalvelazquez at swin.edu.au>. These will be anonymised and could be used as examples during the workshops to keep the sessions interactive!

Although the sessions are free, we ask that you register via TryBooking: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/RMg0CZY1NqixOBjxQSysVAsBXWYG?domain=trybooking.com
Registering helps us estimate attendance and, most importantly, ensures you will receive the Zoom link and a calendar invitation, so you won't miss the sessions.

You can also subscribe to the ASA ECR Google Calendar to keep up with upcoming events:

Best,
Kovi
