Last Wednesday, our Curtin Geography discipline hosted their inaugural Alumni Networking Evening in our very own BLD 418. Drawing together Curtin Geography graduates, staff, and current students, the evening provided opportunities to reconnect and build our geography community and discipline.

With staff speakers and three geography graduate presenters shaping the formal part of the evening, the discussions highlighted the diversity of pathways, skills, and opportunities that can emerge from studying geography, alongside the breadth of transferable skills a geographical perspective can offer. It was also wonderful to reflect on the evolution and iterations of Geography at Curtin over the past five decades.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped to organise the event, and a special thank you to Sophie, Mitchell, Claire, and Shaphan for presenting during the evening and making the event such a success!

Last week ARCH1018 students brought Embodying Country to life through a playful, hands-on design challenge, creating wearable picnic devices with a twist. Set on Whadjuk Noongar Country, each group responded to a specific site, designing structures that sit on the body (no hands allowed!) while navigating the dynamics between three very different picnic guests.

Using cardboard, skewers, wire, and rubber bands, ideas quickly took shape, balancing, bending, and sometimes wobbling, into imaginative outcomes. From observing light and landscape to testing quirky forms, the studio was full of energy, creativity, and collaboration, captured here through moments of making, experimenting, and fun.

GRX April 2026 brought together HDR candidates, supervisors and guests for four days of dynamic exchange, showcasing research in progress and sparking conversations that will shape graduate research in DBE for years to come.

From the opening keynote and panel with Distinguished Professor Martyn Hook and Professor Lucy Montgomery, through candidate presentations, milestone assessments, workshops and the closing plenary, the program offered a rich and rigorous platform for ideas, reflection and critical dialogue.

The DBE Graduate Research Exchange is a biannual forum connecting traditional and practice-based research within a transdisciplinary setting, fostering shared learning and a visible culture of graduate research across the School.

A sincere thank you to all our guest speakers, including Dr Shane Gould, Dr Thomas O’Hara, Anthony Coupe and Distinguished Professor Martyn Hook, alongside our academic, professional and technical staff whose work behind the scenes made the event possible.

Most importantly, thank you to our doctoral candidates, whose openness and courage in sharing work-in-progress is at the heart of GRX.
