I’ve been invited to give the following talk at the Graduate School on the 15th of May 2008 at 2pm.  The Graduate Schools own blurb follows.  If you’re interested in attending and want to reserve a place please send an email to graduate-school@nottingham.ac.uk.

"Going Solo – Starting Out as a Freelance Researcher".

This talk given by Sarah Lewthwaite, a PhD Researcher in the School of Education will give you the opportunity to hear about her experience of establishing herself in a freelance research role during her PhD. The session will provide insights into practical issues such as how much to charge, realistic project planning and working with different clients. The presentation will be of interest to all research students especially those who might be thinking of undertaking some independent research work and those interested in self employment now or in the future.
