Abstract: During my PhD and beyond I have worked with people from many different countries across Europe and Africa. Working with a diverse range of people from different backgrounds and cultures has many positive aspects, helping to build a great foundation of skills but also comes with challenges. I will share my experiences as a researcher and science communicator; the skills I have developed and challenges I have faced along the way.

The Department of Modern languages have the greatest pleasure to welcome Miss Samantha Richardson. Samantha will, in her talk, reflect on and share the skills that working in a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment has help her developed. Samantha will address the value of knowledge and skills in languages and understanding other cultures in relation to employability in an ever-increasingly globalised world. So, her PhD research successors don’t have to face the same challenges that she has encountered. Samantha’s talk is highly recommended!
