MRS &more and the AQR Sparks Webinar

Stand-up Research: How stand-up comedy has helped my career in Qualitative Research.

&more and AQR Sparks are here, along with AQR Parker Prize winner and MRS Careers Ambassador Amanda Hammond, to help you discover a new (and most unusual) approach to help your career: Stand-up research

What do stand-up comedians and qualitative researchers have in common? Don’t worry, this isn’t a cheesy joke – they have quite a lot in common actually! For example, communication skills so you can land a joke or an insight; adaptability so you can save a set or a focus group; active listening so you can properly respond to a heckler or a participant – and much more!

Join us on 18th April for this joint webinar from &more and the AQR Sparks – putting our brains together to bring you the newest and most innovative takes on a career in research!  This session will shed light on how practises from stand-up comedy can help you become a better researcher – and it’s not just for Quallies. These skills can be applied across various research disciplines.

Warning: This session may include jokes related to Market Research – there are no guarantees that they’ll be funny.
