Join us as we discuss papers and articles exploring current thinking around public engagement, schools outreach and other related areas. Meeting regularly throughout the year (every 6 weeks), this reading group is open to all members of Imperial staff and doctoral 天美传媒.
Engagement and outreach practitioners and those who are keen to embed public engagement within their research may find this group particularly useful, as it’s an opportunity to reflect on the evidence base for engagement and outreach and draw from research to inform our practice.
- We meet online via Teams, with occasional meetings in-person with invited speakers.
- Readings are shared at least a month before each meeting but if you don’t have time to read it all, you are still welcome to join us and take part in the conversation.
- Group members are encouraged to suggest readings and are welcome to volunteer to facilitate discussions (if they would like to).
