Part 2. What career? Presentations from Practice Research Beyond the PhD workshop

<p>Four more speakers from our training event:</p> <p>Dr Agata Lulkowska</p> <p>https://www.staffs.ac.uk/people/agata-lulkowska</p> <p>Agata is Senior Lecturer in Film Production at Staffordshire University where she specialises in practice-based PhD supervision in filmmaking. With a background in film practice, photography and installations, her PhD “The Arhuacos, film, and the politics of representing the ‘Other’ in Colombia” was undertaken at Birkbeck. It was unfunded and took her eight years part-time. She had to keep working but also attended and organised conferences and festivals and published. Agata’s tips: do something you enjoy, be patient for the right opportunities, and network! She is also co-founder and director of international interdisciplinary Conference and Art/Film Festival, Communities and Communication <a href="https://www.agatalulkowska.com/communitiesandcommunication">https://www.agatalulkowska.com/communitiesandcommunication</a></p> <p>Dr Nina Perry</p> <p>https://www.ninaperry.co.uk/</p> <p>Nina is an artist and researcher whose interests lie in sound, storytelling, voice and music. She has taught at several universities, most recently as senior lecturer in audio production at Bournemouth University, where she remains as visiting fellow, which means she submits her work to the REF. She misses academia for the opportunities to explore but is really enjoying freelancing. Nina did her PhD by publication, reflecting on a body of audio productions and projects she had already created. Titled "Music, Narrative, Voice and Presence: Revealing a composed feature methodology", her mission was to find the original contribution to knowledge through her practice. She feels the PhD improved her writing, helped unleash her creativity and she developed her ability to critically reflect on her own creative practice. Nina now runs workshops for professionals and community groups, and enjoys guest speaking when invited.</p> <p>Dr Emile Devereaux</p> <p>https://profiles.sussex.ac.uk/p335881-emile-devereaux</
