Knowledge Exchange and Your Expertise — RelSciCom Workshop Series 2026

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 after­noon work­shop will be led by Ruth Pea­cock of the Reli­gion Media Cen­tre, who will dis­cuss how to get direct­ly involved in knowl­edge cre­ation in the aca­d­e­m­ic study of reli­gions with atten­tion to strate­gic uses of time. Addi­tion­al­ly, this work­shop offers an intro­duc­tion to prac­ti­cal com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills, with tips and advice on how to share your work beyond aca­d­e­m­ic cir­cles.
