Student profile

Charlotte Baines PhD

In November 2008 Charlotte Baines was

elected as a councillor on the City of

Monash for a second term. She was also

elected Deputy Mayor at the age of 26. After

achieving a first class honours degree in Arts

(Sociology) and Law, Charlotte decided to

undertake a PhD in sociology. “I am studying

sociology because I am fascinated with the

study of society, and the way governments

represent religious interests. I particularly

want to learn how religion and state

relations can be improved under the Rudd

Labor Government. In Australia, politicians

and researchers are still learning how to get

the balance right. In the future I hope to use

my research to stimulate public debate on

the role of religion in federal politics, and

to improve the representation of religious

interests in policy and law.”

Student profile

Felix NobisPhD

“Having come to tertiary education quite

late, I had already established some

professional and personal interests

that would define my research. I began

undergraduate studies as a mature-age

student at University College Cork, Ireland.

Combining my professional interest in

performance with an academic interest in

history and language, I went on to write an

MA in medieval theatre.

I had worked several years as a professional

actor, increasingly in the field of storytelling,

and saw a unique opportunity to combine

my professional and academic experience in

the form of a PhD in medieval storytelling.

I chose Monash because it offered a

balance between the academic and

the practical sides of performance. I

was accepted on a Teaching-Research

scholarship and have been able to develop

my teaching skills while also receiving

the financial benefits of being a part-

time staff member. Certainly one of the

greatest considerations of full-time study

is financial. Over the last two years I have

twice interrupted my research to pursue

professional engagements. On both

occasions however, I have been able to

incorporate the professional work into my

research.

I enjoy the vibrant atmosphere in the Centre

for Drama and Theatre Studies. I enjoy

working with the students, and sharing that

balance between research and practice. For

me they are as important as each other, and

it is a balance I will seek to maintain after

graduation.”

Student profile

Sarah Pasfield-NeofitouPhD

After completing a Bachelor of Arts degree

in 2005, Sarah completed an honours year

and is now working on a PhD. Her honours

thesis was on language learners’ use of

internet chat and it was while researching

that Sarah uncovered a number of areas

she wanted to explore in more detail. This,

combined with the excellent supervision she

received, encouraged her to pursue a PhD.

In her current research, Language Use in

Internet Mediated Communication, Sarah

is exploring how students use a number

of internet tools in their second language,

and how this participation online impacts

their language learning. Part of her research

also involves the use of emoticons in text

messaging and the ways in which these and

abbreviations have crept into modern day

speech.

Sarah works as a sessional tutor at Monash

and enjoys the fact that she can gain

teaching experience in her area of interest

while studying.

She says the most rewarding thing

about doing a PhD is working in a field

that she is interested in, and developing

as a researcher within an exciting and

encouraging academic community.

Student profile

Marilyn JohnsonPhD

A keen interest in learning all she could

about research, coupled with a desire to

build skills that would allow her to work as

an active, collaborative researcher, were key

influences in Marilyn Johnston’s decision

to enrol in a Masters of Applied Social

Research at Monash.

Working full-time while studying presented

challenges but Marilyn attributes the

standard of excellence she achieved in her

course to extensive online resources, in

particular journal subscriptions, and the high

calibre of teaching staff.

“They understood the demands of time

management but they didn’t compromise

too much – they had high expectations and

confidence in my ability to produce excellent

work.”

Following her Masters, Marilyn worked

for the Parliament of Victoria as principal

researcher for the Inquiry into Pedestrian

Safety tabled in Parliament in 2006 and then

as a researcher with the Ethics Committee

in the Department of Justice.

She is the inaugural recipient of the Amy

Gillett Foundations’ Safe Family Research

Scholarship which has allowed her to return

to study as a full-time PhD student at the

Monash University Accident Research

Centre where she is working on ways to

improve cycling safety through a better

understanding of the interaction between

cyclists and other road users.

Graduate profile

Danny EdwardsBioethics

“I work as a policy manager at the Human

Fertilisation and Embryology Authority in

the UK. The HFEA is responsible for both

regulating and developing policy around

fertility technology and embryology.

A major part of the work I am involved in is

as a member of the secretariat of the Ethics

and Law Advisory Group at the HFEA.

As part of this work I recently presented

a paper regarding the ethical and public

interest issues that may arise during the

licensing of research involving genetically

modified human embryos.

When I first decided to take on postgraduate

study in bioethics this was exactly the sort of

career I had in mind. There’s an increasing

demand for bioethics graduates in the

health policy arena – in my department

alone there are five of us with Masters (or

pending Masters) in bioethics or health law

and medical ethics degrees.”

Graduate profile

Peter SawczakSlavic Studies

“My career path in the Department of

Foreign Affairs and Trade began at the

Australian Embassy in Moscow as Third

Secretary. The solid grounding in Russian

and Ukrainian language, literature and

culture that I acquired at Monash proved

indispensable in the complicated operating

environment of the former Soviet republics.

I’m currently on posting in Washington as

Political Counsellor, dealing mainly with

disarmament and non-proliferation issues.

Prior to this, I served in Brussels,

a challenging multilateral setting that hosts

the European institutions and NATO.

As widely as English is spoken, these

institutions continue to advocate pluralism.

Being able to speak German and French

proved invaluable, both personally and

professionally.

I had such fond memories of my time at

Monash that I took a mid-career break

from international arms control issues to

complete a PhD there on the nineteenth-

century author Nikolai Gogol.

Knowing one or more foreign languages

makes learning others easier. It also makes

different cultures and ways of thinking more

accessible – a vital advantage in the field

of diplomacy. The Department of Foreign

Affairs and Trade values language skills

highly – skills that Monash’s School of LCL

has a well-earned reputation for instilling in

its students.”

Graduate profile

Claire BaddeleyMaster of Arts (Museum Studies and Material Culture)

“The course consisted of course work and a

thesis, and was very interesting, stimulating

and diverse, providing a thorough and

broad-ranging knowledge, and offering

something for everyone, depending on

where your interests lay.

We had an interesting mix of guest

speakers/lecturers during the course from

within the University and externally and a

fieldtrip to Tasmania to visit many museums

and historic houses. Our supervisor was

very knowledgeable, looked after each of

her students and had a genuine interest in

our thesis topics, providing personalised

support and feedback on a regular basis.

After graduating from Monash, I was

appointed W R Griffiths Curatorial Assistant

at the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery and went

on to become Deputy Director, Public

Programs and Collections at the same

gallery. Returning to Melbourne, I worked

at the Melbourne Museum and undertook

a number of short-term contracts with arts

organisations before moving to Canberra in

2001 for the position of Curator, Art Section,

at the Australian War Memorial.”
