Session theme: What is Next after DBA/PhD?
In this session, Professor Sarah Montano will explore the importance of translating our academic research into a variety of content formats, that can easily be understood by diverse audiences. The effective dissemination of research findings is often a key output of funding, and we will examine various strategies for impact success.
Sarah regularly communicates to a wide variety of stakeholders via methods such as BBC radio, Government committee evidence, ESRC FoSS events, newspaper articles and blogs. This session will focus on tools and strategies to communicate in a clear, engaging and accessible manner and crucially how to tailor messages for each audience

Guest Speaker
Professor Sarah Montano
Professor Sarah Montano is an experienced Academic with a demonstrated 21-year history of working in the higher education industry and programme management and was recently awarded a National Teaching Fellowship from AdvanceHE.
Sarah is currently Deputy Director of Education (Digital) for the College of Social Sciences where she leads in the use of digital education resources and the development of distance learning programmes. She has held several leadership positions including Programme Director Business Management and School Director of Transnational Education. Prior to working in academia, she worked in retail at a senior management level.
As a first-generation student she is acutely aware of how when at university she lacked social capital. This inspired her to begin her pioneering work in digital pedagogy and much of her work in digital innovation has been to ensure equality of access for all students. She is particularly proud of being an early pioneer of distance learning and playing a significant role in gaining the award of the world’s first fully online MBA to receive AMBA accreditation.
