Keynote 1: Dr Pam Birtill – The advantages of being a Psychologist in Student Education Leadership
Abstract: Psychology as a discipline is concerned with theory, data, behaviour and behaviour change. These facets of psychology make psychologists effective leaders in Student Education, able to evaluate multifaceted evidence and influence change within Higher Education Institutions. In this talk and the workshop we will reflect on the skills and knowledge we have developed as psychologists and consider how to employ these within our institutions to improve both student and staff experiences. Pam will illustrate this with her own journey, leading assessment and feedback innovation at the University of Leeds.

Keynote 2: Professor Julie Hulme – Developing and progressing an education-focused career in psychology
Abstract: Getting promoted in higher education is hard, and getting promoted in the context of an education-focused career is even harder! In this talk, and the subsequent workshop, we will explore how we can turn our teaching into outputs, and use the impact from those to evidence impact for reward and recognition. Julie will take us on a journey using her own career development as a stimulus, and will support us in reflecting on where we are now, identifying our own expertise, and planning what we might want to do next. As an added bonus, she'll also help us to think about the ways we can do all of that while still having a life outside of the job!
