Episode 28: Teaching Opportunities in Higher Education

Following on from last time, when we discussed teaching in schools as a post-academic career option, this week, Charlie and Stephanie meet to discuss teaching opportunities for early career researchers in universities (spoiler alert: Rachael never made it!) Stephanie (recently appointed as a BBC New Generation Thinker: hooray!) is studying to be elected as a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy (links below) and so we thought it was a good time to talk about: - What teaching opportunities exist for ECRs in Humanities. - Some advice on what to agree to, and what you might want to avoid. - Some advice on how to get started, and how to maximise the fun parts of teaching as an ECR. We hope you like it! Please leave us comments or a review as you like.
