Main Conference Themes - Experience, Value creation, and Impact in Events Education and Research
In light of recent political debates surrounding the fee structures, cost to run, and value of degree programmes in the UK, the sector now needs to respond in order that HEI undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offer value for money (particularly those within the social sciences) and give students a transformational experience.
We invite abstracts under the main themes of how we create a transformational student experience, and create value and impact within our degree programmes and through our graduates.
Sub theme: Research - Adjusting the Lens; Advancing research in Event Studies and Event Management
We also propose a sub theme for research in line with the now established critical event studies network (#CritEvents) which recognises the changing dimensions of event studies/
management research as researchers use events as a context to explore wider issues within communities and society such as health, wellbeing, animal welfare, protests, authenticity,
event spectacle, impact of local, regional, national and international policy i.e. hard/ soft Brexit. And the use of new approaches/ methodologies in which to explore the existing or
emerging areas of research such as; psychosocial, physiological, visual, new technologies/ techniques, different analysis methods, big data etc.
Sub theme: PhD Forum
We welcome PhD students to the AEME forum wherever you are on your doctoral journey do come and share your research, network and have discussions with other PhD researchers and experienced supervisors Contributions are welcomed under any of the above themes from experienced educators, researchers and practitioners, as well as early career researchers and doctoral students.
