Everything you Need to Know about Academic Conferences | Advice from a Current PhD Student

Hey everyone!
Today's video is all about academic conferences, how to apply, write an abstract, prepare your paper and what to expect!

My name's Lucy and I'm a humanities student focusing on queer romance novels of 21st century, so obviously this won't be the same as science people. Also everything I say is my own opinion! If you have any questions about PhD life or studying at UoB feel free to leave a comment or contact me on social media.

Hi Lucy, thank you for this. Random question but for a virtual conference, when do you know when it's time to start reading your paper? Do you say a few words before you start (like thank you, im so excited to be here etc?). Or did you jump in right away?

Hello, thank you for the informative content.. I would like to ask, can I present literature review in academic conferences, example I have a topic that i am interested in, then I will do research on published journals about the topic, I will put the data tohether, cite my references, can I present this in an academic conference? Is it a common practice?
