In recognition of the limited spaces where we can celebrate the innovative, exciting and impactful research being undertaken by Black postgraduate students at the University of Cambridge across various fields, we have scheduled a new Black Postgraduate Symposium series, with three separate events across this academic year.
This will be a relatively informal event with a friendly audience, with the expectation that presenters will adapt their delivery to suit a non-disciplinary audience.
At the Michaelmas Term symposium, we heard about the research of members of the Black Advisory Hub student team. For future events, we are keen to hear from any Black PhD student – irrespective of field and topic area – who would like to present their PhD work to other Black researchers.
All are welcome! Please email if you have any questions about attendance or access to the venue: contact@blackadvisory.hub.cam.ac.uk or the organiser of this event, Tyra Amofah-Akardom, at tea31@cam.ac.uk.
Details
The symposium will take place on 5-8pm Monday 18 November in the Student Services Centre (exam hall D on the ground floor).
A light dinner will be provided. Presenters will be expected to prepare a 15-minute presentation, with time for Q&A. The last hour of the event will be reserved for socialising and networking.
