All Graduate Students Welcome! 

Charlie (he/him) is a non-disabled PhD student at the University of Sheffield. Growing up as a young carer for his disabled parents, he witnessed and experienced a range of ableist and disableist practices embedded in so-called ‘caring’ systems. These formative experiences, alongside degrees in Sociology and Social Research Methods and professional roles in organisations addressing social inequality, led him to pursue doctoral research.

Join us for a guest lecture by Dr. Keith Walker - open to all, funded by the Centre for Community Engagement and Social Change.

Topic

What insights might be offered to leaders who aspire to re-imagine their capacities to listen (to notice personal and professional pains, passions, promises and purposes), learn (to nurture insights and wisdom from others), lever vital collaboration (to sustain momentum) and lean into generative, fiduciary and strategic community action to make more space for hope (embody in social action) and preserve our welldoing?

Format

Intention is for Keith to provide some frames of reference and then engage in a meaningful conversation with attenders on this topic to garner their experiences and practical insights.
