Finding Time to Think
Lunch-Time Café for Social Science Mid-Career Researchers

15 October, 1-2pm
Room 777, Main IOE building
Format: small group (20 places) informal discussion over lunch with light facilitation to encourage conversation
 
How do you find time to think and create space for reflection amid the opportunities and demands of the mid-career stage in academia?  Join us for a relaxed yet purposeful lunch café that brings together researchers at a similar career stage to share experiences, exchange ideas, and reflect on how you find time to think while balancing research, teaching, leadership, and personal life.  
 
Take time out of your busy schedule to pause and reflect over a shared meal. We hope by the end of this lunch-hour, you’ll go away feeling re-energised.
