The School of Commerce Seminar Series is co-organised by the Centre for Regulation and Market Analysis, the Centre for Accounting, Governance and Sustainability and the Centre for Comparative Water Policies and Laws. The series is divided into two streams: the internal 'research lunch' seminars and the external 'visiting scholars' seminars.

 

Research Lunch: Tuesday 12-1pm

The Research Lunch seminar series is an opportunity for academic staff and research degree students at UniSA, and occasionally from Flinders and the University of Adelaide, to present their research in progress. The series also features workshops and master classes by staff and visiting scholars, and directed discussions about ongoing research projects and the research agenda of the School of Commerce as a whole. The Research Lunch seminars are held on the City West campus from noon until 1 pm on Tuesday during teaching weeks in Study Periods 2 and 5.

 

Visiting Scholars Seminar: Thursday 10.30-12pm

The Visiting Scholars seminar series within the School of Commerce serves as a forum for interstate and international scholars to present their research in the standard seminar format. We host primarily scholars who work in disciplines that reflect the core interests of staff in the School, namely accounting, economics, finance, law, and property. Interdisciplinary work in any field related to markets, regulation and governance, broadly conceived, is also highly valued. Visiting Scholars is held on the City West campus from 10.30am until noon, with lunch to follow, on Thursdays during teaching weeks in Study Periods 2 and 5.

Please check the schedule for seminar titles and abstracts and for room numbers as they may vary from week-to-week.
