Research Further Webinar 2: How research ideas develop and evolve
Join us on Tuesday 12th May, 4-5pm, for a Research Further webinar exploring how research ideas develop and evolve. The session will create space for reflection and discussion about the early stages of research, including how interests take shape, how a focus is narrowed, and what influences decisions about what feels worth researching.
We will be joined by Professor Matt O'Leary, and Research Further scholars Angie Fantis, Beth Wolstenholme and Jamie Pearson. The session will also be an opportunity to introduce the new scholars to the wider community and hear about their research journeys.
Join the conversation and stay up-to-date with the latest news: @AoC_Info
