Techne Summer Congress 2024: The Scholar's Voice

"The Scholar’s Voice" is a term that is used to encapsulate professional identity, as well as to refer to the originality and authenticity of the communication of ideas. The identity of the scholar is bound up in the development of communication and engagement – in writing, in speaking, in dialogue, in movement and presence, in creative practice, and in teaching – in other words, the authorial voice. It is there in how scholars present themselves to others too, and within the corporeality of their voice – the embodiment of their voice in physical presence.

Yet it is important to recognise that the scholar’s voice is curated and mediated by several converging practices, behaviours, actions and non-actions. This Congress will explore these ideas and issues, featuring panels, lectures workshops and more. Attendees will be able to register for the individual sessions via Inkpath.

Please note that it is mandatory for Techne students to attend as part of your AHRC Scholarship funding, as long as you are still within your funded period at the time of the Congress. We do understand that occasionally circumstances mean that this is not possible, so if you aren’t able to attend, you will need to notify the Techne Team as soon as possible.

Please book your place by the deadline of 5pm on Friday 28 June 2024.

Attendance is free and catering included for all Techne students, who will also be able to reclaim their travel expenses*. Techne alumni and non-Techne students are welcome to attend, but can't reclaim travel expenses.
