About this Event

Supported by Midlands4Cities, Birmingham City University will host a Dialogue Day on 12th September, aiming to place an intersectional lens on ‘routes out’ of PhD study, while also practically supporting current doctoral researchers across all disciplines. Led by Dr Alice Storey (BCU) and Dr Tara Lai Quinlan (University of Birmingham), there will be a specific focus on the experiences and needs of researchers from working-class backgrounds, as well as groups with a range of intersectional protected EDI characteristics.


The Dialogue Day will include sessions delivered by researchers from the That’s Me! Routes Out team, and a Clinical Therapist with expertise on working with students and professionals from traditionally marginalised backgrounds.


Attendance for doctoral researchers is free and lunch and refreshments will be provided. There is limited funding available for contributions to doctoral researchers’ travel to Birmingham for the Dialogue Day. Please register your interest for a travel contribution when signing up for the event
