Do life's tensions help us grow? - Natalie Lancer

#BirkbeckVoices

Welcome to Big Ideas, a podcast series to accompany Birkbeck’s free public lecture series, where academics bring their research out to local communities around London, sharing the exciting and innovative work that happens at Birkbeck, and opening up the world of research and universities. The series is organised by Birkbeck’s Access and Engagement team, who support underrepresented groups of people to apply and succeed in study here at Birkbeck, University of London. In this podcast we meet Natalie Lancer, PhD researcher at Birkbeck's Department of Psychological Sciences. She is looking to understand how students having one-to-one coaching grow at university and initially found that students developed their social skills and their confidence. Natalie’s talk will take place on Tuesday 21 May 2019 at City and Islington College‘s Centre for Lifelong Learning in Finsbury Park.
