CIRMH offers early career research training for PhD students, postdocs and teaching fellows at Birkbeck in the Summer Term each year. Below is an indication of the workshops we have run in the past. If you are an ECR at Birkbeck and want to discuss particular training that we can offer or collaborate on delivering please get in touch (email s.marks@bbk.ac.uk)
We also run a twice-termly ‘Critical Mental Health Studies’ seminar for Birkbeck PhD students and early career researchers from across disciplines, to present their work or discuss key readings/sources. If you’d like to be added to the mailing list for this please contact us.
