How reality changes our perspective and creates our identity | Hugo Walsh | TEDxSwinburne University

Our journey through university and into a career reveals new perspectives and forms an integral part of our identity. In a research based career, this journey can teach us a lot about who we are and what we believe in. What happens during those years and what lessons can we learn? Hugo is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing. His research connects occupational psychology and astronomy to investigate how observational astronomers view their roles and how their occupational identity evolves over time. Drawing on large-scale surveys and in-depth interviews, he combines quantitative and qualitative methods to connect insights into individual experiences with broader shifts in the community as we advance towards the next generation of observational astronomy, discoveries, and researchers This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
