Session 68: Early career development
| Synopsis | This session centres on presentations by four winners of the Michael Young Prize in which they will talk about how their research and its dissemination has featured in their careers to date. The Michael Young Prize is awarded to outstanding scholars who have recently completed their PhDs in any social science subject to support them in the dissemination of their research findings to the wider public. Each of the winners has conducted research of social value and public relevance, communicated in a clear way for non-academic audiences. Prior to these four presentations, Andrew Dilnot, who has extensive experience of communicating with lay audiences and a particular interest in career development, will set the scene by speaking on these related themes. |
