New Perspectives is a collaboration between The Graduate School and Lakeside Arts and offers a unique public engagement opportunity.
Six postgraduate research students will each have the opportunity to deliver an eight-minute talk exploring the relationship between a work from the exhibition and their own research. This opportunity is open to researchers from all disciplines.
If you’re interested in taking part, join us at the Djanogly Art Gallery on Friday 14 December at 10am. You will be introduced to the themes of the exhibition by the curator.
Once you’re certain you’d like to apply, you must identify one piece from the exhibition and write a short abstract (250-300 words) exploring the relationship between the work you have identified and your own research. The abstract must be submitted to ssagc@nottingham.ac.uk by Wednesday 19 December 2018.
A panel of academic and gallery staff will select six abstracts to take forward for the New Perspective event. Over the following weeks, the six research students will receive coaching sessions and facilitated peer-critique on how to translate written work into oral presentation that will engage and excite an intelligent but non-academic audience. You will then deliver your talk to the public during a guided tour on Thursday 31 January at 1pm.
Email ssagc@nottingham.ac.uk to book your place on the curator's tour.
