Have you passed your viva and are not sure what comes next? Join us for an afternoon to explore ways to publish your work including creating podcasts.
In the first session, Kirsty Sinclair Dootson, Lecturer in Film and Media, University College London (UCL), will share her experience of publishing a monograph and journal articles from PhD research, and Bea Gassman de Sousa, independent researcher and curator, will suggest ways to translate research into an exhibition format.
In the second session, Ana Baeza-Ruiz (Loughborough University) will talk about her experience of developing research-led podcasts and radio programmes. Following this there will be an introduction to the basics of audio production which will focus on how to get from an idea to a finished episode. An independent audio producer will explain which equipment to use for good-quality recordings and the best software to use for editing.
The ECRN is able to provide a limited number of travel bursaries for this event to cover standard class travel within the UK. Please indicate on the Eventbrite sign-up form whether you would like to receive a bursary and Chloe and Roz (the Network’s Co-Convenors) will be in touch.
Lunch will be provided for all attendees. If you have any dietary requirements, please note these in the Eventbrite sign-up form.
