Introducing the Arts Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) Early Career Researchers (ECR) Assembly

The Assembly provides Early Career Researchers (ECRs) with a platform from which to advocate for improved research culture, professional opportunities, and working conditions, as well as an academic and social network across to share experiences and ideas. It is particularly focused on supporting ECRs across the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, and in making legible the crunch points and highlights of the hugely varied career paths to help change them for the better.

The Assembly is led by two early career representatives who are always keen to hear from any early career scholar, in any kind of post, from across the Schools of Art & Humanities or the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Their aim is to represent and elevate the views and concerns of ECRs to the highest academic levels in the Schools and beyond, building up the Assembly as a forum for change.
