The session examines how archives are used and assembled to promote social and criminal justice. Starting with a theoretical discussion of non-representational and collaborative methodologies and their temporalities, the session challenges the privileged status of the archive in creating truth-claims about the past or now.
The session will commence by exploring the advantages offered by AI tools, such as aiding non-native English speakers in manuscript preparation, delivering instantaneous feedback, and automating the initial screening of manuscripts. The ability of AI to democratize access to scientific knowledge is contrasted with urgent ethical considerations like the question of authorship, concerns of plagiarism, and preserving the integrity of scientific communication, intellectual property rights, as well as the potential for ingrained biases.
We will discuss in this workshop what makes international PGR journeys distinct from other PGR journeys and how international PGRs can optimise their own unique journeys.
This is an interactive session designed to help doctoral candidates navigate and make the most of their supervision experience. No prior knowledge is required—just a willingness to reflect on and engage with strategies for fostering an effective supervisory relationship.
Do you want your research to have policy impact but don't quite know how? Are you keen to learn more about how best to engage with the Scottish Government when conducting your research? In this online session, hear from officials from the Office of the Chief Researcher about a range of opportunities for engaging with the Scottish Government and creating the conditions for enhancing the policy relevance of your academic work.
This workshop provides an introduction to the visual method (i.e. River of Experience interviews) and the audio diary method. Participants will engage in the design and implementation of a study using these two creative methods and gaining practical experience through guided activities.

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.
Podcasting is an increasingly popular way to communicate research, share ideas, and engage with a wide audience beyond academia. This training session is designed for all students who want to learn the fundamentals of creating a podcast, whether to enhance their research communication, public engagement, or interdisciplinary collaboration.
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.
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.
