The Athena Swan group would like to invite you to attend a Q&A session on the promotion to Reader process. This session will be IN-PERSON in H0.44.

Professor Anu Realo, Professor Kim Wade, Professor Nicole Tang and Professor Adam have kindly agreed to join this session and provide their thoughts.

Please post any questions about promotion to Professor that you may have here: https://warwick.padlet.org/kmessenger2/kxmbo4aajo72cg1bLink opens in a new window We will use any comments and questions on the padlet to guide the sessions but you are also welcome to bring any further questions you have. We will add the feedback and advice shared in these sessions to the padlets so that anyone who cannot attend can still access the information.

Please note – these sessions are open to all regardless of current role, and you do not have to be considering applying for promotions in the next round to attend. The idea is that these sessions will hopefully provide useful input for staff at any stage to know what future career progression might entail.

Thanks!

Title: Search Strategies in Motor Behaviour: Exploring the Perceptual-Motor Workspace

Host: Professor Thomas Hills

The abstract: 

“The process of motor learning naturally encompasses change. The natural question is how such a change takes place. Considering that motor learning must encompass the multiple levels of analysis (e.g., from muscle activation to joint motion and movement outcomes), the many degrees of freedom (e.g., muscles, joints, end-effector), and the observed divergence between individuals, I consider the view of motor learning as a process of search. This search process would occur in the spaces of perceptual-motor possibilities and task constraints. In this talk, I offer the theoretical background that supports the view and preliminary findings that support the formulation of a new theory for the area.”
