Thirteen of the BEL faculty’s PhD students presented their theses in snappy and engaging presentations in the BEL Faculty Three Minute Thesis Final competition held on Friday 24 July.
The audience was engaged in a wide range of topics such as: Should you trust an online doctor? Is energy efficiency really as efficient as they say? Do you want to know how to rid your workplace of its ‘attention deficit disorder’?.
The faculty final winner and people’s choice winner was Teegan Green of the UQ Business School with: Trust me, I’m a (Tele) Doctor, an engaging look at what happens when we offer health care at a virtual distance.
“Telehealth – where health care services are provided digitally – has significant benefits for country Australia, and yet it hasn’t been widely adopted,” Teegan said. “My thesis looks at why this is the case.” Clickhere to view her presentation.
The runner up was Behnaz Zarrabi of the TC Beirne School of Law with: Sacred Killings: Emissaries of the Devil, Devotees of God which looks at how religiously-motivated homicide is perceived and treated in the Islamic and Common Law systems.
