Grant News

Tertiary Education for Veterans: MORE than $157,000 of funding under the latest round of Supporting Younger Veterans Grants, has been awarded to Flinders University, in concert with William Kibby VC Men’s Shed, to develop a program to support younger veterans undertaking tertiary education.

Flinders University Vice-Chancellor Professor Colin Stirling says the initiative has the potential to make a difference in the lives of many who have served the nation. “This grant will help equip those who have bravely served our nation to pursue new careers, by supporting younger veterans to successfully transition from service to study,” Professor Stirling says.

Flinders University’s grant recipient, TASA member, Associate Professor Ben Wadham says “Higher Education is a great pathway for some veterans.”

“Veterans often want to give back to the community and our research at Flinders University can help facilitate this. Therapists with military experience in particular have the advantage of having shared experience with veteran clients.”

The grant funds will be used to identify, select and prepare young veterans for tertiary study, develop a support network within the university and research the veterans journeys from discharge to achieving their tertiary award.

Looking for Work Register

There are many members of TASA who are looking for work, from sessional teaching through to applied consultancy research. We have created the Looking for Work registry to provide a way for our members who are looking for work to connect with people looking to employ sociologists. We also acknowledge many of our members are employed precariously, and we hope this registry might help in building connections and networks towards more stable employment. The registry of sociologists looking for work can be accessed on TASAweb here.
