Equity and diversity lunch (Hosted by ARC CLEX)
Can you ask THAT question? Of course you can!
Have you always wanted to ask a senior colleague a burning question but didn’t feel you could? Well this is the session for you! This very interactive session will be in the style of the TV programs Q&A and You Can’t Ask That. Our guest speaker Leanne Armand and our AMOS president Andrew Marshall will attempt to answer your challenging/humorous/advice seeking questions based on their experiences of an academic (Leanne) and Bureau (Andrew) lifestyle, not knowing what question is coming next. All questions welcome – from:
- Asking your advice on…
- Have you experienced…?
- How have you dealt with…?
- What do feel is important for…?
- Did you make mistakes?
- Did you feel pressure under diversity constraints?
- What is your favourite diatom?
… and any others that you want to ask!
With just one-two minutes to answer each question, Leanne and Andrew will provide some unforgettable insight into their careers and working life.
