Bringing Birmingham to You: Behind the Screens

Join Dr Victoria Goodyear and Dr Anna Lavis  as they explore how smartphones and social media are reshaping young people's well-being. Inspired by their recent research, Dr Goodyear will share key findings on smart phone policies in schools and Dr Anna will explore the impact of digital media consumption outside of the classroom. You'll also have the chance to ask your questions to them both directly in a Q&A session.

Enjoy drinks and canapés whilst reconnecting with peers, and dive deeper into the discussion on technology in education.

This is an event exclusively for University of Birmingham alumni and their guest. If you have any questions about this event please email the alumni events team.

'Bringing Birmingham to You' is a new events series from the Alumni Office, bringing Birmingham academics to our global alumni community. No prior knowledge of the subject matter is necessary. Academics will discuss and share their latest research and findings in the informal atmosphere of a local coffee house or pub, giving our global alumni community a chance to meet some of the people helping lead the way in arts and science.
