ANZSIL is pleased to announce the establishment of the ANZSIL Doctoral Network, designed to offer postgraduate researchers in international law a year-round community for connection and networking, research development, professional support and events.
The Doctoral Network welcomes all ANZSIL members and student associates undertaking postgraduate research (doctoral research and masters-by-research), wherever they are based. The Network is committed to Indigenous inclusion, recognising the distinct position of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and Māori as tangata whenua. We warmly encourage all ANZSIL postgraduate researchers to get involved, share ideas, and shape the direction and activities of this new Network.
For more information, and to join the Network, visit the ANZSIL Doctoral Network webpage.
Launch Event/Webinar: Writing a Strong Abstract
Tuesday 15 December 2026, 11AM-12PM AEDT/1PM-2PM NZDT
To officially launch the Network, we invite postgraduate researchers to join an interactive webinar on 'Writing a Strong Abstract' on Tuesday 15 December 2026.
This webinar is intended to assist postgraduate researchers to prepare a compelling conference or workshop abstract, including for the ANZSIL Postgraduate Research Students Workshop 2027 and ANZSIL Annual Conference 2027. Abstracts can be submitted by 16 February 2027 for the Postgraduate Workshop and 8 February 2027 for the Conference.
At the webinar, participants will hear from Professors Treasa Dunworth and Christopher Michaelsen (Co-Chairs of the 2026 and 2027 ANZSIL Annual Conference Committees, respectively) in discussion with Dr Anna Marie Brennan (Co-Convenor of the 2026 and 2027 ANZSIL Postgraduate Workshops). The panel will discuss key aspects of a successful conference abstract—how to frame a clear research question, show the significance and originality of a paper, work within a word limit, connect to a conference theme, avoid common pitfalls, and present work drawn from a larger thesis—and invite questions from participants.
