Every Thursday from 13 June to 4 July 2024, Open University PGRs from the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (FASS) will give free online talks about their research.

The talks, Next Generation: Arts & Social Sciences, which will be hosted at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm. will last for 30 minutes and cover topics such as ending homelessness, sexual violence against women in Sierra Leone and thinking critically about prison yoga teaching.

Professor Rose Capdevila, Associate Dean for Research, FASS, said: 

“These talks will make the ground-breaking research being carried out by PhD students open to everyone, in line with our core values of inclusivity, and lifelong learning for all.

“This programme of talks offers a wealth of fascinating insight from up-and-coming researchers in FASS - as the series name promises, they are our next generation."
