Social science slam

One of the aims of LSE Research Festival is to get researchers from across the School to experiment with new or unconventional ways of presenting their research and, on Wednesday 7 May 2014, a group of LSE PhD students will take to the stage as part of a Social Science Slam. This event, organised collaboratively with LSESU, gives each presenter just 10 minutes to explain their research topic in slam poetry style, to an audience from whom no prior knowledge is required, and who are encouraged to show their appreciation (or lack thereof) by cheering (or booing…). A winner will eventually be chosen based on audience applause, with a prize awarded for first and second places.
