Dear all, Apologies for the cross-posting. The British Education Studies Association (BESA) is holding its 3rd Early Career Researcher (ECR) Preconference event on the 25th June at the University of Glasgow. http://educationstudies.org.uk/free-event-early-career-researcher-preconference-25th-june-2014-university-of-glasgow/ The preconference has been developed in preparation for the Annual BESA Conference at the University of Glasgow which follows directly after on the 26th-27th June 2014 http://educationstudies.org.uk/conference-2014/. It has been developed so that post-graduate students and new researchers can attend workshops that will benefit their studies and future career opportunities. Some of the confirmed workshops and speakers include: * From thesis to book: writing for publication (Michele Schweisfurth, University of Glasgow) * Developing academic writing for timely doctoral completion (Oscar Odena, University of Glasgow) * Get followed and get networking: using social media to promote your research (Mark Murphy, University of Glasgow) * How to design focus groups for effective research outcomes (Suanne Gibson, University of Plymouth) * Nail the dream job: increasing your employability (Dickon Copsey, University of Glasgow) * Designing questionnaires in education research (Trevor Male, University of Hull) The BESA ECR Preconference is a FREE event, lunch will be provided and the event will run from 9.30-4.30pm. The key theme of the 10th Annual Conference of the British Education Studies Association is: The politics of education studies: pedagogy, curriculum, policy , and the call for abstract is still open. Some of the suggested topics for papers are the following: http://educationstudies.org.uk/conference-2014/ * Alternative voices in Education Studies * Innovations in Education Studies * Education Studies: Contemporary debates * Researching Education Studies: critical issues * Student perspectives on Education Studies I thought this might be of interest to you and/or your postgraduate students. Maybe I'll meet some of you there as I am submitting an abstract myself. ;-) Kind regards, Cristina Dr Cristina Costa Lecturer in Lifelong Learning (TEL) Course Leader PgCert/PgDip in Lifelong Learning in the Digital Age<http://www.strath.ac.uk/humanities/courses/education/courses/lifelonglearninginthedigitalage/> Centre for Lifelong Learning<http://www.strath.ac.uk/cll> School of Education University of Strathclyde Graham Hills Building 40 George Street Glasgow G1 1QE t: +44 (0)141 548 4706 e: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> w: http://knowmansland.com<http://knowmansland.com/> t: @cristinacost [logo] The University of Strathclyde is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC015263
