Want to get involved?
If you’d like to present at future seminars in the series, we’d love to hear from you! Whether you're exploring new ideas or refining your findings, this is a great opportunity to share your voice and connect with others. To get involved, please send a title and a 300-400 word abstract of your presentation to Sulayman.bah@bcu.ac.uk. Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis to build a programme that will run from May 2025.
As part of the series, That’s Me! is also running a poster competition for Global Majority doctoral researchers. To get involved, create a poster that communicates an aspect of your doctoral research in your chosen format. It's a creative and impactful way to get your work noticed in BCU’s Research Hub, where your post will be displayed. A £100 shopping voucher will be awarded for the best poster, selected by PVC Education Professor Marcia Wilson, Chair of the That’s Me! Project Steering Committee in December 2025. The deadline for digital submissions is 1 September 2025, sending them to amy.mckenzie@bcu.ac.uk. Poster printing costs for display in the Research Hub will be paid for by the That’s Me! project.
