Professional Development Workshop and Networking Lunch

When? Wednesday 10 December 10am-1pm

Where? In-person at The Knowledge Exchange, Leeds Beckett University

What? What would you like to research, why, when, and how, and what could the potential impact(s) of that research be? In this interactive workshop, there will be opportunities for you to develop your research networks and for us to work together to:

  • explore how you can develop ‘a golden thread’ for your research activities;
  • examine challenges that you might face in developing your professional profile as a researcher; and
  • identify strategies that you could use in response.

Throughout the session, we will draw on case study examples and creative methods* to explore your professional development as a researcher to date, and your future plans.

(*In preparation for the workshop, please bring with you to the session an object (or objects!) that you believe represent(s) your own professional development journey to date, and be ready to discuss what you’ve chosen and why with others in the group.)


Follow up Poster Competition

When? Wednesday 10 December 1-4pm

Where? In-person at Leeds Law School, Leeds Beckett University

What? Following the above workshop, the Socio-Legal Studies Association and Routledge have sponsored prizes for an associated Poster Competition. If you are interested in taking part in the Poster Competition, you need to submit an abstract (maximum 200 words). The abstract should either provide an overview of your proposed, current, and/or previous research or explore a particular aspect of it. You can choose to focus on either your initial ideas for some future research or present your research findings, whatever works best for you.


  • Deadline for submissions: Midnight, 30 September 2025

Small Grant Contributions towards travel/accommodation costs

There are a limited number of opportunities for those attending to apply for a small grant (approximately £100) towards travel and/or accommodation costs.
