On the 21st & 22nd June this year, the Young Social Learning Researchers (YSLR)
network<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2…
will be hosting its 2nd annual workshop! The workshop will be held at the historic
University of St Andrews, located on the beautiful east coast of Scotland.
YSLR aims to bring together early career researchers from all corners of the broad and
diverse field of Social Learning, to promote interdisciplinary collaborations and form an
international community. The workshop will provide a platform for discussion on the
state-of-art in the field, and will help participants develop interdisciplinary thinking
and build a support network of fellow researchers. All participants are invited to present
their work in the form of a poster, and you will also have the opportunity to network with
colleagues and senior researchers from the University of St Andrews in an open-doors
event. The workshop will conclude with a panel of senior researchers discussing the topic
"Learning in the field - 20 years of Social Learning", followed by a Q&A
session. Confirmed panel guests so far are: Prof Malinda Carpenter, Prof Kevin Laland, Dr
Luke Rendell and (TBC) Dr Ellen Garland. More information and a workshop programme can be
found on the workshop
website<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2…
(further details will be posted there as they are confirmed).

Postdoc level. To apply please use the 'apply' link on the workshop
