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.
Join us for our next event in the Practising Engaged Scholarship webinar series, Scholarship for Justice - University Civic Mission and Community Engagement on 19th May 2022 (12.00-13.00 BST, MS Teams). In this session Dr Paula Black (The Democratic Society) and Pete Rogers (Citizens UK) discuss the experience of building engaged scholarship for justice through Nottingham Trent University’s civic think tank, Nottingham Civic Exchange, and provide examples of the successes and barriers they encountered along the way.
MS Teams Link will be sent to registered delegates.
