The notion of ‘engaged scholarship’ has become popular as a means of pursuing research that is relevant as well as rigorous. But what does the term actually mean? How can the approach be implemented? What difference does it make, and to whom? Academics will have been exercised by such questions in their quest to demonstrate ‘impact’ in the recent Research Excellence Framework exercise. Practitioners too have an interest in such issues as they look for knowledge and insights that might help them address their day-to-day concerns. ‘Engaged scholarship’ is a conscious attempt to link interests of academics and practitioners; but the principles and practice that inform such an approach are far from clear. This webinar explores the challenges and opportunities of engaged scholarship and provide some examples of it in action as part of our Social Sciences Enterprise Scheme (SESS), launching this month. The webinar will provide an opportunity to;<ul><li>Explore how to access available support through the ESRC Social Science Enterprise Scheme and Impact Acceleration Account for engagement activity</li><li>Examine new and innovative approaches to engagement influence and impact in action </li><li>Engage and be part of shaping future work in this area</li></ul>Chair: <a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/organisation/management/meeting-the-board/kiran-trehan/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professor Kiran Trehan, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Partnerships and Engagement</a>Panelists:<ul><li><a href="https://www.biovale.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Sarah Hickingbottom, CEO, BioVale</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-johnson-07801542/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rebecca Johnson, Social Science Business Partnerships Manager, University of York</a></li><li><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/tfti/staff/academic/mateer/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professor John Mateer, Department of Theatre, Film, Television and Interactive Media, University of York</a></li><li><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/management/staff/jane-suter/#research-content" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Jane Suter, Lecturer in Human Resource Management and Joint Head of Work Management and Organisation Group, University of York</a></li></ul>
