Building your academic community: epistemic communities, professional societies, creative groups
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street
One of the key lessons of the new knowledge economy is that success is associated to the capacity to build a large variety of connections with individuals and institutions. In all creative domains, from arts to innovative business companies, from academic circles to politics, these connections are often explicit and sometimes implicit. How should a young scholar develop its own academic community? Academic community has been open to collaboration and it has generated specific institutions, such as professional societies, to share the outcome of research. How could a young scholar benefit from participating and even generating its own creative group?
This workshop will be offered as a hybrid session, with the option to attend in person at Birkbeck Central or online.
