Full list of Fellows

Our Fellows are are key to driving the work of the Institute forward. They are staff and students at the University who are passionate about Public Engagement and have experience of doing or supporting engagement work. They work with WIE to improve and promote Public Engagement across the University.

Engagement Learning Circles

Learning Circles are our guides to decide what the Institute should do, and how, and the place of engagement at Warwick. They are each made up of a group of Fellows/Institute staff with an interest in a particular topic related to engagement, and are chaired by a Fellow of the Institute.

Regional Fellows

Our Regional Fellows have been selected from across Coventry and Warwickshire to help us build and strengthen links into the region. We will also benefit from the expertise and knowledge they will feed into the Institute. They are appointed for 3 years or for the time they are in their current role.
