2 PM: Workshop: Stakeholder mapping for Academic-Policy Engagement for Social Sciences - Cherwell and Thames Room, 6 Worcester Street. Who do you need to engage with in the policy world to achieve impact? In this workshop, we will help answer this and other questions by equipping researchers, professional services staff and DPhil students to identify and map the people and groups who influence or are impacted by their research, when it comes to policy engagement. Using stakeholder analysis frameworks and interactive exercises, participants will learn to identify and categorise their relevant audiences across government agencies and other pertinent policy actors.

To celebrate this event, and following on from last year’s Tolkien seminars, Exeter College – Tolkien’s undergraduate college – is proud to host a series of free lunchtime talks organised by the Faculty of English on The Lord of the Rings. Open to the public these talks are aimed at going deeper in some key aspects of the novel, Tolkien as a writer, and some of the spin-offs it has generated.
