Conference Presentations workshop for Arts Postgrads

Successful presentations at conferences require planning and practice. This workshop – specifically for Arts, Humanities and Social Science postgraduates – will cover topics including defining a topic of suitable scope, conveying your argument clearly to the audience, using powerpoint effectively, and general public speaking skills. The workshop will help you to gain confidence and perform well at conferences: useful skills with the Social and Cultural Studies Graduate Conference coming up (and the chance to win prizes for presentation skills).

The workshop will be held on Friday 7 September, 2-4pm, in Guild Seminar Room 1. Register to attend.

That's the official blurb, anyway. More informally, this will be a workshop for all those people who think that a conference presentation should be more than regurgitating a series of powerpoint dot points, who want to give a vibrant and engaging presentation even if the norm in their area of study is reading out written papers, and who generally want to share their interest in their topic with an audience!
