This workshop is for students interested in acquiring or improving their networking skill and will be held in Room SH0.06 in Student Hub (Senate House next to FAB building). You will gain tips and practise techniques to assist you in your journey to becoming a more confident and effective networker - one of the more important skills for career success, according to LinkedIn.

This is an interactive workshop (60 min followed by optional 30 min interactive/Q&A session) where participants are encouraged to join in and/or ask questions. By the end of this workshop, you will have:

• gained knowledge on how to create an elevator pitch
• practised some networking skills and techniques
• addressed some of your networking barriers.

Come with an open mind and be prepared to participate and collaborate. If you are already an experienced networker, consider this a refresher and share with us your networking tips!

This event brings together employers from a wide range of sectors, from business and tech to creative industries, charities, public sector organisations, SMEs, and start‑ups. They’re here to meet Warwick students from all degrees and all year groups, and to showcase roles that genuinely match the different stages you might be at in your career journey. ​

Whether you’re looking for graduate roles, internships and placements, part‑time work, summer opportunities, or you’re simply exploring what’s out there, you’ll find employers ready to talk, answer questions, and help you understand what working in their organisation is really like. ​

It’s a relaxed, friendly space to browse opportunities, chat to recruiters, and get insights you won’t get from a job description alone, leaving you better prepared and more confident about your next steps.

About the Book:

What prevents data governance law from redressing the widespread exploitation of labour and land rampant across the data economies of our digital Earth? Unsettling Data answers this question by scrutinising the legal grammar of ‘data’ to expose the persistence of hierarchical power relations between the observer and the observed. The role of the modern legal form in fortifying and obscuring these power relations is elucidated. Proposing representationalism as the framework to map these hidden yet pervasive power relations, the book reveals how the representationalist legal form serves to delink the agency of the data subject from unjust labour and land exploitation in the digital political economy. Highlighting the importance of Indigenous/Adivasi perspectives for unsettling the philosophical core of Western(ised) data governance, Unsettling Data argues for the formal reconceptualisation of data as the entangled human and unhuman agencies implicated in its production; paving the way for a new legal grammar of data rooted in relational reciprocity.

Unsettling Data will be of interest to readers in critical legal theory, law and humanities, law and political economy, data protection, information law, AI governance, intellectual property as well as anyone seeking to understand the legal form or aesthetics of data from a critical lens.

The Festival is a celebration of PGRs, an opportunity for PGRs to showcase their work, engage in interactive development session, and build community. The Festival is open to the whole Warwick community.
