How do researchers tell their peers and the wider world about their work, especially when just starting out on their PhD studies?
We talk to AHRC-funded students about their experience of communication and public engagement work during their PhD and how they managed to build interest groups and promote themselves as academics.
"It's become important... the university wants to know that the people they have been supporting have got their name out there. When people want a specialist they want to know you've got a profile." Kadija George (University of Brighton)
