In collaboration with the Linguistics & English Language Department in general, FORGE is delighted to announce our very first talk of the year by our upcoming internal speakers: William Dance<\/a> and Claire Hardaker<\/a> (LAEL). Details of the talk are below:<\/p>\n

TITLE<\/em><\/strong>
\nEngagement and impact in media and policy: life above and beyond the thesis<\/strong><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/em><\/strong>
\nUndertaking a thesis is, for many people, one of the greatest challenges of their lives, but there can be a tendency to focus simply on getting to, and passing the viva, and then life after<\/em> that moment can come as an entirely unplanned surprise. In this talk, Claire briefly discusses how, in her role as a supervisor, she guides her students through the maze of impact and engagement – whether with the media, policy makers, practitioners, or beyond – as a way of paving the road for life, and a career, after the thesis. William then gives concrete examples of how his path through engagement and impact is currently playing out for him day to day as a PhD student, including reflections on creating and building his public profile, undertaking a Cabinet Office internship, working with journalists both behind the scenes and in front, and more besides.<\/p>\n

Whilst this talk will mainly be about engagement during PhD studies, it may also be useful to MA students and ECRs.<\/p>\n

The talk will be approximately 30-40 minutes in total, with around 10-20 minutes at the end for Q&A.<\/p>\n

TIME & PLACE<\/em><\/strong>
\n1300-1400, Fri 18th<\/sup> Oct, Management School LT11<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In collaboration with the Linguistics & English Language Department in general, FORGE is delighted to announce our very first talk of the year by our upcoming internal speakers: William Dance and Claire Hardaker (LAEL).
