BSG ERA Conference 2025 – Bursary Blog

Dr Emily Bradfield Practitioner Research Associate: Collections and Wellbeing (Older Adults) at The Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge shares her experience of the ERA 2025 conference at Surrey as one of our ERA bursary recipients. Because my role is part-time and fixed-term contract, I have to be strategic about the conferences I attend, where I present, and the networks I invest in.
