Ben’s plans
With the financial support provided by the UK Data Service Data Impact Fellows Programme, I plan to both attend and speak at academic conferences related to migration (domestic and international) as well as other research events, such as the ESRC’s Festival of Social Science.
Further, given the importance of communicating my research to policy makers, journalists, and the general public, I would also like to undertake media and public engagement training. Finally, I intend to communicate my research findings using the platform provided by the UK Data Service Data Impact Blog.
