Description
To co-incide with his book launch, Des Fitzgerald has kindly agreed to run a workshop on public facing scholarship.
Des Fitzgerald is professor of Medical Humanities and Social Sciences at University College Cork. He was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize for Sociology and named a “New Generation Thinker” by the BBC and the AHRC. His work has appeared in Granta, on BBC Radio 3, and has been published by Faber & Faber. In this workshop, Des will discuss his approach to work that is aimed at a public audience and how best to go about undertaking this type of scholarship. The workshop will be appropriate for scholars at any career stage and from any discipline.
This event is a collaboration between the Science, Technology, and Medicine in Society and Environmental Politics Research Themes. Support has been provided by the POL-SCS Strategic Research Fund and by iHuman.
