What is … Knowledge exchange
When: Tuesday 28th January 2025 13.00-14.00 online on Zoom
What: Overview
‘What is…?’ events are held online on the last Tuesday of the month. They are designed to meet training needs and to broaden the knowledge of SCDTP and other PhD students about methods and concepts in the social sciences. The series also provides opportunities to present and share your knowledge, and to build your networks.
Everyone is welcome and you can dip in to some or all of each session/ the series. Presenters will share some key ‘need to know’ features of the method or concept. There will time for Q&A. The sessions may flag areas where further training is needed or where special interest groups may emerge.
