Student-led Training

A two-half-day training to explore creative and embodied approaches to trauma-informed research. You will learn to approach research from an embodied perspective, considering the role of the body in engaging with data, materials, and readings within a post-qualitative and post-humanist theoretical framework.

Wondering how other PhD researchers are working creatively across generations in the field? This peer-to-peer training will explore participatory and creative methodologies in interdisciplinary research, with a focus on co-analysis with children, young people and doctoral researchers. Attendees will hear from case studies applied to issues of sustainability and then will be invited to reflect on methodological opportunities in their own contexts.

Join this half day training to explore resources to support best practice in making your research Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible (FAIR). This software carpentry course offers guided and hands-on learning of the building blocks to design your own scalable and reproducible scientific workflow using Nextflow.

There are a lot of ways to conduct a systematic review. This full day workshop will provide participants with the information to engage with the varied research methods involved in conducting a systematic review, as well as to get hands on experience with every step of the process from designing a search prompt to synthesising the findings.

The training event will provide hands-on experience in engaging with arts-based narrative inquiry research—a creative approach that blends storytelling and various art forms to study lived experiences. The research approach is ideal for studying complex, emotional, or marginalised perspectives. The training will also explore innovative ways to collect research data and disseminate findings using this approach.

These two half-day workshops are designed to unleash your creativity and expand your understanding of arts-informed inquiry. The event is ideal for beginners who consider arts-informed methodology or those eager to explore the power of imagination in social science research and community contexts.

This event offers a hands-on, engaging approach to unpacking Critical Realism (CR) using the analogy of a jigsaw puzzle. Attendees will break down complex philosophical ideas into manageable "pieces," helping them understand how CR can be applied in a practical and accessible way.

Are you interested in listening to children’s voices?
This workshop will offer you the opportunity to explore how to apply the four elements of Lundy’s model - space, voice, audience, and influence – to meaningfully involve children in your research.
