The
LDC is delighted to be hosting the first ‘Your Voice – PGR Conference’ which
will take place on 1-2 April in the University’s South Campus Teaching Hub.

— Abstracts — Registration
The
Conference includes contributions from postgraduate researchers from across the
University, who will introduce a wide variety of topics of interest to the
research community. The topics include:
- The PhD journey; the challenges encountered by the
presenters and the solutions they found
- Specific opportunities undertaken during the PhD,
including public engagement, fieldwork, public engagement and teaching
- Subject related talks where presenters will
summarise their specific research projects. Their topics span all faculties of
the University, from Cell migration to Artificial Intelligence, from Chinese
women’s representation in Hollywood cinema to Dementia care and from Lasers to
the needs for Utopias.
The
Conference also includes two discussion-focussed
sessions at the end of each day. The first explores the University’s
approach to climate change and sustainability and the second will focus on
teaching experiences as a demonstrator and the skills required to teach well.
Come
and get to know about the opportunities and challenges your peers have
experienced. Their stories might open doors to new opportunities!
This
Conference offers a great opportunity to practice your ‘conference skills’, develop your networking skills, ask questions,
or simply see how Conferences work! It
is a rare opportunity to meet and learn about research and research practice
beyond your Faculty. Discover how much have you got in common and how research
practice can vary across disciplines.
LDC
