Abstract |
Public engagement is becoming more popular and embedded into university teaching, learning and research frameworks. Steered by the research councils, there is a drive to get more students involved in engaging the public with their research as the benefits are now being valued throughout academia and society. Thus, here at the Graduate School, we are empowering PhD students with the appropriate skills in a three-hour workshop that allows them to practise engaging with the public on the streets of South Kensington. |
