As part of this year's Goldsmiths' Graduate Festival, the Graduate School and Concordat Implementation Group are co-hosting a day showcasing the work of Goldsmiths researchers at all stages of their careers.
You are warmly invited to participate to a day of information sharing in our supportive academic community - as you can see from our programme below, the day will be full of engaging speakers and careers information, and there will be plenty of opportunity to network with colleagues in our research community over refreshments throughout the day.
Our keynote speaker is Dr James Baker, British Library. James Baker is many things and a very engaging speaker; a short summary of his current CV includes his role as a Curator in the Digital Research team at the British Library, historian of eighteenth century Britain, Software Sustainability Institute Fellow, Honorary Research Fellow at the School of History, University of Kent and as he described himself in his blog, Cradled in Caricature, an “all round excitable tech human.”
