This annual mini-conference offers a range of presentations to ‘re-kindle’ West Australian academics’ presentations at higher education conferences over the last twelve months, and to ‘pre-kindle’ presentations at upcoming conferences. This is a wonderful opportunity for Perth higher education staff who were unable to attend the HERDSA national conference and other national and international higher education conferences, to hear colleagues' presentations. It is also an opportunity for people who have not attended a higher education conference before to experience examples of presentations that may assist them in preparing their abstract submissions for 2020.
