Throughout she has conducted extensive research on doctoral success, socialization and career paths among other topics. Women and underrepresented groups, particularly in science and technology, have been a constant in most of her research.

You are warmly invited to an evening of provocations and discussion about Coventry, a city that is celebrating, reimagining and investing in its cultural identity by bidding for the UK’s Capital of Culture 2021.

A major aspiration of Coventry’s bid is ‘place-making’, which aims to create spaces of belonging and engagement for its residents and visitors. This event will reflect on and question the multiple and diverse ways that communities participate in ‘place-making’ in urban settings. An international panel will share details of current collaborations between academic researchers, local artists and cultural organisations. These partnerships aim to foster meaningful connections between Coventry’s diverse communities, creating new ways of experiencing and participating in the city’s urban landscapes.

Dr Talita Calitz will be joining CES on an IAS Residential Fellowship in the week 19th - 25th June 2016, as a result of ongoing collaboration with Dr Emily Henderson (CES).
