On 19 October 2019 I am speaking at the History UK plenary event on mental health and well-being. Registration info is here and an outline of my talk below:
Mental Health and Well-Being: the Early Career Researcher Perspective
In this talk, Dr Charlotte Mathieson will address the challenges around mental health and well-being faced by early career researchers. She will look at how the contexts of precarity and casualisation, a competitive job market, and pressures such as the REF, impact upon early career researchers, and identify strategies and suggestions as to how best support ECRs at individual, departmental, and institutional level.
