Please note this event has been rescheduled from 28th February to 7th March.
Event description
The Engaged Scholarship Learning Lab is being funded by UKRI/ESRC and runs in partnership with BAM. ESLL builds capacity for academics and practitioners to work together to exchange knowledge, design research projects together, test ideas and reflect on the implications of findings to address 'tricky' problems in their contexts.
Manchester Metropolitan University is delighted to invite you to the second event in the free Practising Engaged Scholarship webinar series on 7th March 2022 (12.00-13.00). In this session Professor Helen Pankhurst, women's rights activist, scholar and writer will join Professor Julia Rouse and Dr Helen Woolnough, authors of Engaged-Activist Scholarship: Feminist Reflections on Philosophy, Accountability and Transformational Potential. They will discuss the tricky problem of ensuring that marginalised voices are represented in engaged research and the ambidexterity this demands to work with both power holders and the marginalised.
MS Teams Link will be sent to registered delegates.
