Early career European health law scholars program: navigating health law in an evolving Europe from an early career stage Co-leads: Tamara Hervey and TBC (early career scholars) The early career European health law scholars program will consider how the upcoming generation of scholars (primarily PhD students) may be enabled to navigate the frontiers of their chosen discipline. The precise modalities of the program will be co-produced by early career scholars and Tamara Hervey, who has been involved in the discipline for several decades. It is likely to include presentations on the craft and art of academic writing; some ‘active learning’ or reflection; and an opportunity for students to present their work in progress and receive feedback on it, to help them navigate their own ways forward. |
