Our Workplace Wednesday talks are here to give you the lowdown on what jobs and careers are really like, from the people who do them!

 

What its like to be a University Lecturer

Every Wednesday Make Happen have Workplace Wednesday. They showcase a video regarding different job roles and careers.

In episode 16 of our Workplace Wednesday series, which take a closer look at jobs and professions by talking to the people that do them, Make Happen collaborative outreach officer Jordan talks to Elia, a psychology lecturer at the University of Essex.

This 30-minute discussion covers many topics, including Elia’s work looking at the sensation of pain, the decision to work as a psychology academic rather than practitioner, and the favourite parts of his job.
