What to expect from an academic conference
How to build your confidence when presenting a paper
How to transform your research into an engaging presentation
How to approach different roles and formats including chairing, paper presentations, and posters
How to navigate audience questions
How to build your professional network outside of planned sessions
Dr Rosie Findlay, is a Lecturer in Media Studies at University of Kent. Rosie’s two key research interests are 20th and 21st-century fashion media and the intersection of dress and the embodied self. Her work has been published in several journals, most recently Feminist Theory and Australian Feminist Studies, and she is author of Personal Style Blogs (2017) and co-editor of Insights on Fashion Journalism (2022).

The session will finish with a discursive Q&A, so please bring questions or any areas of concern for discussion.
