Join graduates from all over the university to learn discuss how public engagement and public involvement occur in our related areas.
Please click on your Microsoft Teams link (received with your eventbrite ticket) before 10am on October 29th to join the graduate discussion meeting.
This morning meeting explores public engagement/involvement opportunities and strategies—an especially important theme given current necessary moves to online engagement as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Our speakers showcase efforts currently in place at the university in the realms of medicine and bioethics, and the beneficial outcomes that such efforts can produce for public understanding, university accessibility, and researchers’ identification of research directions and possible research funding. Discussion sessions and coffee break also offer opportunities for students to engage in networking with academics and other graduate students across the university.
The meeting theme surrounds public involvement and public engagement within the areas of health and ethics, and aims to:
• provide a virtual environment for the presentation of graduate efforts at involving the public in research or engaging with non-academic audiences;
• highlight public engagement and involvement efforts within Oxford university as made by established academics in these areas;
• offer attendees the opportunity for networking and online discussion of strategies that can be used across these areas to better assess and develop involvement and engagement efforts;
• discuss opportunities for the continued development of a bioethics graduate student network at Oxford in the form of future events/activities.
