Different Stages - Bristol workshop

Dr Naomi Paxton

Different Stages: Exploring public engagement for Drama and Theatre early career academics is a project run by Dr Naomi Paxton from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, and funded by the British Academy. <A HREF="https://www.cssd.ac.uk/different-stages" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.cssd.ac.uk/different-stages</A>
The project is designed for Drama and Theatre PhD students and ECRs to discuss the role of public engagement and knowledge exchange within the discipline, to identify key areas in which advocacy for research in Drama and Theatre might be used to influence policy, and to learn skills so they can take the lead in creating opportunities for interdisciplinary and creative collaboration both within their institutions and as independent researchers.
