The TOP 5 media residencies are designed to develop the communication skills and media awareness of Australia's emerging thinkers — helping researchers share their knowledge and expertise with audiences who are seeking credible information and informed debate. This is terrific for Julia and sociology. You can listen to Julia talking to ABC presenter, Patricia Karvelas, about her research here (1:48 mark).
