The Dean of Graduate Studies and the Research Office will be conducting a
forum to inform the wider University community regarding the DEST Research
Training Scheme as well as postgraduate research scholarship policies and
opportunities within the University. In addition to providing relevant
information, the forum aims to initiate discussion and suggestions for

4. Institute for Teaching and Learning (ITL) - Call for Articles:
October Issue of Synergy
The Institute for Teaching and Learning (ITL) invites contributions from
members of the university community interested in writing a short article
for Synergy - the University's publication designed to support critical and
scholarly discussion of higher education teaching and learning. Synergy
welcomes scholarly and research-based contributions for its October 2004 issue.
For more information please visit July News section:

5. University of Sydney Veterinary Science Foundation and the Animal
Welfare League - The Delta Society Bob Kibble Memorial Lecture
Professor Frank Ascione, Professor in the Department of Psychology and
adjunct Professor of Family and Human Development at Utah State University,
will be speaking next week about his recent research into the common roots
of violence towards people and animals and how it can be used as an early
indicator of at-risk status in children. His work presents links between
violence, children and young people's attitudes to animals, and has
significant ramifications for veterinarians, health professionals, social
workers, and law enforcement agencies.
