NZ Branch 2026 in Review

The HERDSA New Zealand Branch has enjoyed an active year, with a particular focus on connecting colleagues across Aotearoa New Zealand, supporting the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), and creating opportunities to share research and practice.

In May, we hosted SoTL for Career-Building, an online kōrero for education-focused academics. The event attracted participants from across the tertiary sector and generated valuable discussion about developing teaching-focused academic careers and using SoTL to support career progression.

From Conference Presentation to Publication: Turning Ideas into Scholarly Outputs

What happens to an idea once the conference is over?

This was the focus of a recent HERDSA workshop, From Conference Presentation to Publication: Turning Ideas into Scholarly Outputs, facilitated by A/Prof Alice Brown and Dr Manisha Thakkar.

Designed for colleagues who had recently presented a showcase, roundtable, poster or other conference contribution, the practical session explored how conference work can become the starting point for a publication or other form of scholarly output.
