5.    Perspectives on: 'Impact or starve, a new paradigm for academia?'  (15 mins)

With Dr Rene Brauer, Impact Officer, Research and Innovation, University of Hull

Research evaluation and the societal impact of academic knowledge productions are not new phenomena. What is new, is the – politically motivated – notion to evaluate research based upon its societal impact in order to justify public expenditure. The short presentation investigates how the emergent evaluation regime is changing the normative structure of modern research, as well as its unintended consequences.

There will be time afterwards for open discussion/questions.

Chloe Wilson - Biography 

My interests in law, crime and modern slavery stem from practical and academic experiences over the last 10 years. I developed a keen interest through researching human trafficking for my 3^rd year dissertation at the University of Hull, as well as working as a Special Constable. My current research is positioned between law and criminology, making my work and interests interdisciplinary. In 2015 I was awarded a Wilberforce Institute PhD Scholarship; Human Trafficking and Restorative Justice. I submitted my Thesis in October 2020 and have recently, successfully, completed the Viva Voce. My PhD considers Human Trafficking: Practice, Policy and Protection – exploring experiences of victims in the UK, from a practitioner perspective. My PhD journey summed up in three words would be: testing, enlightening and empowering. I also have experience in teaching, at present I am working as a Research and Lecturing Assistant within the Department of Criminology at the University.
