The Academic Skills Circle (TASC)

The Skills Circle is a collaboration between Sundhya Pahuja at the LPGCIL, the Institute for International Law and the Humanities (IILAH) at Melbourne Law School, the UNSW Critique Network of Professor Ben Golder, and La Trobe International and Comparative Law Cluster co-led by Dr Kathleen Birrell.

The ‘Skills Circle’ is modelled on the knitting circle, which brings knitters of all levels of experience together into a room to knit, and while they do so, to share ideas and techniques, and to experience the camaraderie of a shared activity. The skills circle’s ethos and objectives have been institutionalised in the TALS, and the Academy.

Ad hoc topics for 2025 will be announced as they arise. Recordings of past circles are available through the ‘Research Craft Resources’ page.
