A meeting with Prof. Rachel Gibson from the University of Manchester, a world-renowned researcher and winner of an ERC grant in the field of communication and politics, will take place on 23 September 2025 at 11.30 a.m. at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Silesia (room 39). The event, organised as part of the 7th Congress of the Polish Society of Social Communication, is aimed at young researchers and those starting their research careers in the fields of journalism, social communication, political science, sociology and psychology.
The event will be an opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities associated with building an academic career. Participants will not only be able to listen to an inspiring lecture, but will also have the opportunity to actively join in the discussion – we encourage you to prepare questions about scientific development.
The meeting will be hosted by Karolina Koc-Michalska, PhD, DSc, Assoc. Prof.
The event is organised by the Institute of Journalism and Media Communication of the University of Silesia.
The project Constructing the Future: Reflections on Career Building in the Research Field was co-financed by Metropolis GZM as part of the ‘Metropolitan Science Support Fund’ programme.
