Featured Workshops and Events

What Next? Career Planning for PhD Students
 15/05/2012

If you are well on the way to a PhD but feeling less clear about what happens next, this workshop will help you develop a structured approach to career decisions and a personal action plan to get you started. You will look at the overall directions open to you, evaluate your own interests and motivation and share ideas with others who are also just beginning to consider their options. Follow up with a career consultant is recommended.

Job Search
 16/05/2012

This workshop considers a range of job search strategies including re-active and pro-active techniques and outlines and sources of further help available and how to access them. By the end of this session, you will understand how to:

* Research options and identify vacancies
* Approach employers

Dr... Who?
 23/05/2012

Doing a PhD is a time consuming, highly dedicated and emotionally involving process. There are various changes that take place within the researcher during the PhD years that often remain invisible or difficult to articulate. In this workshop, we will look at the PhD and the writing up of a thesis as a ‘relationship’. Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences and will be encouraged, through the use of metaphors and other media to identify with the evolving identity resulting from conducting a PhD project.

Conferences

Exchange Conference
 28/06/2012 & 29/06/2012

The 2012 conference will be exploring the concept of ‘Exchange’ and will gather a broad range of perspectives from a many different fields and disciplines. As well as being the conference theme, ‘exchange’ will also reflect the many opportunities for conversations, networking and the cross-fertilisation of ideas that is possible at the event.

Presentations may connect to the concept of exchange through the focus of the research or perhaps in the theoretical or methodological approach being used. In each case, the presentation could look to the present, draw on the past or consider possibilities for the future. Potential areas of interest could include explorations of exchange in the context of:

* Knowledge or research: Innovation, creativity, learning, communication
* Attitudes or approaches: Reciprocity, sharing, convergence, dialogue
* Psychology, language and behaviour: Meaning, identity, boundaries, relationships
* Media or culture: Arts, music, literature, technology
* Business or the economy: Globalism, trade, finance, enterprise
* Philosophy, politics or religion: Ideas, trends, movements
* Geography or society: Globalisation, migration, networks, social capital

This conference is open to all MPhils and PhDs across the humanities and social sciences from departments and institutions across Wales, the UK and overseas.
