{"id":25741,"name":"David Parker","url":"","description":"David completed a PhD in the physical chemistry of micellar liquid crystals at the University of Leeds, England, and spent some time on further research at Massey University, Palmerston North. Intrigued by the business of writing he trained as an editor and worked in the publishing industry in London and Auckland for 12 years. These two aspects of David\u2019s career finally made sense in his appointment to the role of Postgraduate Learning Advisor at AUT in 2003.\r\nDavid\u2019s role primarily involves teaching and advising postgraduate students, both those involved in coursework programmes and those working on a thesis or dissertation. The major challenges for many students revolve around writing to the high levels expected of postgraduate students, and David is particularly interested in the logical structures of effective written academic work, and the communication of argument and critical analysis. He is available for appointments at both the City campus and the North Shore campus.","link":"https:\/\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/?author=25741","slug":"david-parker","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c2b307178b23fe565a9e17f92da6e3cb304e64d319aad8a20ad59c417ec9dc9e?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c2b307178b23fe565a9e17f92da6e3cb304e64d319aad8a20ad59c417ec9dc9e?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c2b307178b23fe565a9e17f92da6e3cb304e64d319aad8a20ad59c417ec9dc9e?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":{"jetpack_donation_warning_dismissed":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/25741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
