Imperial Social Scientists: Community Event
Are you a PhD or Early Career Researcher in the social sciences?
Want to connect with other social scientists across Imperial, reflect on being a social scientist in a STEMM setting, and enjoy some great food?
Dear PhD students and Early Career Researchers,
I am pleased to invite you to our flagship Imperial Social Scientists Community Event.
When? Monday 10 June 2024, 11:00 – 14:00
Where? HXLY 341 (Huxley Building Level 3, South Kensington Campus)
What? We are lucky to be joined by Dr. Stephen Webster, who will be providing some reflections and insights about navigating a social science identity in a STEMM institution. Refreshments and lunch will be provided, and an opportunity to collaborate with other PhD and Early Career researchers through both guided and informal interactive activities.
Who? Anyone who is either a PhD or Early Career Researcher undertaking a project that broadly fits under the ‘social sciences’ umbrella.
Why? Being a social scientist in a STEM institution has many unique benefits, but it can be isolating with so few of us across the institution. We are forced to push the boundaries of our identities as researchers, as we question the ‘divide’ between the natural and the social sciences. Part of that work, of course, includes showing the importance of the social sciences to Imperial’s success as a STEM innovator. The aim of this event is to bring us together to form a community of early career social scientists across Imperial, so that we can make connections with one another, reflect on the relationship between the natural and the social sciences, and discuss together our research questions.
How? If you are interested and would like to attend, please complete this signup form no later than Monday 20thMay at 17:00.
