Overview
The Early Career Researchers (ECRs) Urban Studies Network is an Urban Institute (UI) and the Department of Urban Studies and Planning (USP) initiative, supported by the Faculty of Social Science at Sheffield (FoSS). It has been designed to provide a supportive space where to discuss ECRs’ career development, and to foster peer-to-peer solidarity.
It is managed by the Director of ECRs Development, Dr Michele Lancione (UI/USP) and co-delivered by Drs Ahmed, Cawood, Higgins and Sawyer.
