Arlene Holmes-Henderson is Professor of Classics Education and Public Policy at Durham University and Vice-Chair Arts and Humanities, Universities Policy Engagement Network (UPEN). Laura Bea is Head of Membership and Network Development for UPEN.

Join us for a deep dive conversation about the current SHAPE* policy environment and what it takes to connect yourself (it's so often about relationships) and your unique research expertise with the world of policy development and innovation.

Arlene is an incredibly engaging speaker and a true advocate for SHAPE academic-policy engagement.
