Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting our Winter Showcase 2024, and we’re excited to share that it was a wonderful success.
The Winter Showcase is more than just an event—it’s a platform designed to empower researchers giving them the opportunity to connect, learn from each other and practise their presentation skills. Whether you’re drawn to insightful research talks, captivated by the diversity of research posters, or eager to present your own findings, the Winter Showcase offers something for everyone.
This year’s programme featured a lineup of thought-provoking presentations that highlighted the diversity and depth of research in our community:
- Chris Payne “Are e-scooters active transport? Measured physical activity outputs of e-scooter riding vs walking”
- Shiyu Yuan “The Power of Two: Couples’ Combined Work-from-Home Status, commuting time, and Childbirth in the UK”
- Inah Okpa Okpa “Mitigating Carbonwashing in ESG Marketing: Can Artificial Intelligence Adoption Enhance Corporate Climate Governance?”
- Yeshu Kadiri “Informal Urbanism and Gendered Infrastructure in the Global South: Ethnography of a Basti in Hyderabad, India”
- Emily Su “Visualizing a ‘Synergy of Greatness’: A Study of the Sublime through Napoleonic Battle Painting, c. 1800-1815”
- Yvonne Cullen “How to relearn creative and collaborative learning”
- Hugh Robertson-Ritchie “Epistemic Injustice in ME (Myalgic Encephalomyopathy or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) is Exacerbated by Uncertainty”
The event also featured a variety of impressive research posters created by our talented PhD students. Covering a wide range of themes, these posters sparked engaging discussions and gave the opportunity to learn about the innovative projects being conducted at Kent.
It was really uplifting. I enjoyed connecting with other postgraduate students and building my self-confidence to speak about my research. The Graduate and Researcher College really works for the students and that it’s an amazing asset to the PhD experience.
