Ämne: Workshop on 'Impact of Engagement
Dear Specialist Group Convenor
Would you please inform your members of the following:
At a time when academics increasingly need to consider the wider “impact” of their research, greater consideration needs to be given to the ways in which academic research can help shape and inform the policy-making process and the practical measures that academics need to take to ensure their work is heard, understood and acted upon by the appropriate decision-makers. To this end the Political Studies Association has decided to run a free workshop on “Impact and Engagement” at the Novotel London West, London W11 on Monday, 18th April (the day before the start of its annual conference).
The workshop will consist of three sessions:
Session 1: Engaging the Media (10-11.30am)
Sue Cameron, Financial Times, tbc
Professor Phil Cowley, University of Nottingham
Martin Rosenbaum, Producer, BBC Radio 4
Nadine Smith, Head of Communications, Institute for Government
Session 2: Engaging Parliament and Government (11.30am-1.00pm)
Professor Archie Brown, Oxford University
Paul Evans, Principal Clerk for Select Committees, House of Commons
Professor Iain McLean, Oxford University
Baroness Parminter, Liberal Democrat working peer and former Chief Executive of the Campaign to Protect Rural England
Session 3: International Intervention case Study (2-3.30pm)
Sir Mike Aaronson, visiting Professor at University of Surrey and former Director General of Save the Children UK
If you are interested in registering for the workshop please contact sue.forster@ncl.ac.uk
