Professor Jill Dickinson | ‘Being Yourself’ and ‘Finding Your People’: Exploring professional identity and career transitions
In this lecture, Professor Jill Dickinson will draw on her dual experiences of working within law firms and academia to explore interpretations of professional identity, and how it can impact individuals who may be navigating transitions in their career journeys. Through the session, Jill will draw on examples from her interdisciplinary research around professional development and place-making, and the intersections between them, to examine the importance of professional identity within the context of career development.
In addition, Jill will highlight some of the creative methods that she has used for the research and related practice initiatives. As Professor of Law and Professional Development, Jill will also weave in stories from her own career journey and share how those experiences continue to drive and influence her current research and practice.
This lecture is part of Leeds Beckett University’s inaugural professional lecture series.
