*With apologies for cross posting* Just sending a message to publicise this event, which may be of interest to any MECCSA subscribers working on costume/period drama, neo-Victorianism or similar. Registration Open: British Association for Victorian Studies Careers Day 18th June University of Warwick Keynote Speaker: Dr Naomi Paxton (AHRC/BBC Radio 3 New Generation Thinker 2014-15) Undertaking a PhD is an enriching but exhausting experience. Deciding what to do afterwards can be another challenge, especially when contending with the realities of the academic job market, or if you’re unsure whether an academic career is for you. To support PGRs and ECRs through this stage, BAVS will be holding a careers training day aimed at scholars of the Victorian period and long nineteenth century to be held at the University of Warwick on 18th June. The day will begin with a keynote address by Dr Naomi Paxton, a researcher, writer, performer and AHRC/BBC Radio 3 New Generation Thinker 2014-15 who has worked at Parliament and for the BBC as well as within academia (http://www.naomipaxton.co.uk/about-me.html). As well as plenary sessions, the event will feature separate strands catering to those interested in (A) academic careers and (B) alternative careers.
