Jobs, Transformations & Impact — RelSciCom Workshop Series 2026
April 17 @ 10:00 — 17:00
What is the point of your PhD? What is the point of being an expert? How can you demonstrate your knowledge to potential employers both inside and outside academia? This series of workshops will help you to articulate the importance of well-researched social scientific information and directly contribute to knowledge creation, including through social media and databases.
This fourth workshop in the series addresses the urgent need for effective science communication in the study of religions. It also sets students up for jobs in academia or in fields adjacent to academia, including civil service, public relations, media, museums and galleries, and research in other contexts. This last workshop day will discuss how Religious Studies students can have a public impact with their research, contributing to social transformation. The practical session will be split into the German and UK contexts, where students will hear from experts in both academia and beyond on careers after the study of religion.
