An exciting opportunity for doctoral students and early career researchers in arts and humanities to develop skills in dealing with the media, in effective public engagement and in collaborative working beyond the university.
‘Becoming a Public Intellectual’ is an innovative research skills training programme funded by the AHRC. Starting in October 2013, the programme is aimed at researchers who want to seek influence beyond the university sector, to speak to the concerns and interests of a broader public and to set the agenda for developments in the cultural and creative sectors.
Through a series of one-day workshops involving academics expert in public engagement as well as representatives from a number of cultural and media organisations, students will develop skills in effective engagement with television, radio and the press and will also learn how to maximise their influence via collaboration with a range of partners. This will be followed by a period of mentoring and consolidation during which these skills can be put into practice.
Becoming a Public Intellectual is funded by the AHRC and run by CHASE, the Consortium for the Humanities and the Arts Southeast England. CHASE was formed to deliver outstanding postgraduate training in the Arts and Humanities across the south-east of England and has seven members: The Courtauld Institute of Art, Goldsmiths (University of London), The Open University, and the Universities of East Anglia, Essex, Kent, and Sussex.
A cohort for this training programme has now been selected and applications are no longer being accepted.
