Public sociology and the role of the researcher: engagement, communication and academic activism
Wednesday 29 March 2017, 9am-5pm,
De Montfort University
About
What is the role of the researcher outside the academy?
This event invites Postgraduate and Early Career Researchers to innovate and critically reflect on three related areas of public sociology: academic activism, public engagement, and participation and co-production.
Programme
This event includes a keynote lecture from distinguished speaker Dr Mark Carrigan, Digital Fellow, The Sociological Review, presentations by invited speakers, a film created using participatory methods, participatory workshops, and the chance to network and discuss work with fellow researchers. The aim is to provide an environment in which you have the space to be questioning, to have a lively exchange of ideas, and to be inspired to explore the potential of these ideas in your own research.
