Next Meeting - Juggling Identities: Who am I supposed to be?!

Hi everyone

The next meeting of the Post Grad Café will be on Wednesday 30th March. The theme for this meeting will be ‘Juggling Identities: Who am I supposed to be?!’ In a change to our usual arrangements, there will be no specific papers presented; rather, there will be an open discussion about the experiences of being a postgraduate who has to juggle a variety of identities – student, researcher, teacher, practitioner etc – and how different people find ways to cope with moments of difficulty. We also want to focus on how best to take advantage of the many positive aspects of occupying what can sometimes be contrasting roles.

We hope that by running a session of the café on this theme that people will be able to share in the diversity and commonality of their experiences in a relaxed and friendly environment. To help establish the right kind of atmosphere, this meeting will be the first to travel outside the school and will be held at the ‘Funky Buddha’ on Woodville Road in Cathays at 7 pm. We have booked space and will order wine for the group (and hopefully some nibbles too).

Looking forward to seeing many of you there
