We will be kicking things off on Friday 28 October with a Session on Presentation Skills by our fellow PG student Darrelyn
Gunzburg!
Preparing for,
introducing and presenting your work in research seminars is part of the
requirements of taught MA and PGR work but no-one ever tells you what to do
about the associated anxiety.
Furthermore unless someone is kind enough to give
you feedback, there appears to be no way towards improving such situations and
terror can build disproportionately.
The value of the experience thus
disappears in a sea of froth and dread, rather than building pride in your work
and learning to communicate your ideas.
Darrelyn Gunzburg (hadrg@bristol.ac.uk), PhD candidate History of Art, trained as a theatre director at NIDA in
Australia and is also an experienced presenter. In this seminar she offers
techniques on how to tame apprehension, focus on the task at hand and enjoy the
experience.
Friday 28 October 2011; 4.10-5.40 pm;
room TBC
