DESCRIPTION:This workshop aims to provide tools to improve presentation s
 kills in academic settings. The combination of lecture and group activit
 ies will provide the material as well as the practise the participants o
 n the one hand need to identify shortcomings in their own presentation s
 kills and on the other hand to improve their performance for future acad
 emic conferences and presentation.\n\nContent will cover topics such as 
 material preparation\, how to find a good introduction and conclusion fo
 r presentations\, a better use of visuals\, body language and how to pre
 pare for Q&A.\n\nThe first half of the course consists of an interactive
  lecture capturing important aspects of the aforementioned topics. After
  a lunch break the participants will then engage in previously prepared 
 mini-presentations and constructive feedback sessions. Presentations wil
 l be filmed so that participants can analyse their own presentation and 
 performance as well individually after the workshop.\n\nNo previous expe
 rience is required for participation. \n\nNo reading prior to the worksh
 op is recommended. However\, further literature on specific aspects will
  be presented throughout the workshop and on the handout materials.  Par
 ticipants are asked to prepare a very short presentation (max. 3 min) on
  a topic of their choice\, aimed at a non-specialist audience. In the pr
 actical part of the workshop participants will present their material in
 cluding a Q&A period and group feedback session.\n\nThis workshop is pre
 sented by Tina Hannemann.  Tina is a Research Associate at the Cathie Ma
 rsh Institute for Social Research\, University of Manchester. She works 
 on two projects associated with the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity and 
 the National Centre for Research Methods. Tina has a Master’s degree in 
 Demography from University Rostock in Germany and received a PhD in Econ
 omic History from Lund University in Sweden.\n\nBooking is necessary via
