Video recording of a keynote by Professor Pamela Cox at the ESRC First Year Student Conference in Cardiff, January 2015.<\/p>\n
Impact is about planning how your research will make a difference to the world.\u00a0 Increasingly we are asked to demonstrate how the knowledge we create can be used to make a difference to people\u2019s lives and communities.\u00a0 How can social scientists tell their research stories in a way that better connects with the wider public?\u00a0 What kinds of impact do these stories help to create? \u00a0The aim of this talk is to help you think about what impact means and why it is important, and how you can work to create the most impact from your project. Professor Pamela Cox shares her experiences of making two BBC documentary series \u2013 Servants <\/em>(2012) and Shopgirls <\/em>(2014) \u2013 both of which trace broad shifts in the UK labour market and in workers\u2019 own lived experiences of these.<\/p>\n
