Dear all,
Vaguely related to Laura Walker's question... I'm interested in people's thoughts on using PhD students to support public engagement activities and whether they should be remunerated for their
time?
Many PhD students will be expected to undertake PE activities as part of their PhD, so might be happy to donate their time for free, but others might feel that their expertise and the responsibility
being entrusted to them should be recognised.
So: should PhD students be paid when they help out at an event? Perhaps it is a spectrum -- some activities should be voluntary (for example...?), some should be paid (for example...?)
Be good to hear what you think.
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Mat
