A Methods Workshop convened by Lizzy Baddeley (Public
Engagement Coordinator, SLASH) and Hilary Jackson, Public Engagement
Coordinator (BEAMS).
What does public engagement actually involve? Why should you do it? What can it change for you and your work? What support is available? How can you tell if your public engagement is effective? What public groups and individuals might be interesting to engage with about your work? If you need help with any of these questions, join this session to find out more.
In this
interactive workshop, the UCL Public Engagement Unit will introduce some of the
concepts and ethos of public engagement. Drawing on UCL staff and students'
public engagement experience, participants will explore why you might want to
do engagement, what it involves, who the public are and how you might engage
with them about your research and/or teaching.
