Nick Scullin is picking up the coordination of Antarctic Studies subject support .
Antarctic Studies is an interesting interdisciplinary programme which lends itself to a different kind of subject support. Nick will manage the subject guide and will be the point of contact for Antarctic Studies. He will provide library support that is not subject specific and will coordinate referral to subject specialists according to the research interests of each student.
The PCAS summer programme will get underway in November. The Antarctic is the object or phenomenon of interest for all of the students however they come from a wide range of disciplines and apply their own disciplinary lens to their investigations. For example in this year’s intake there are students interested in creative arts, geology, astronomy, biology, climate science, education , economics and international relations.
