Researching is Emotional: Building Your Research Care Package

Online via Zoom
Attendance: 46 / 46

This workshop aims to create a space where we can discuss, with freedom and peer-support, a range of ethical issues that we could encounter during fieldwork, and a range of issues that make doing research more difficult. Some of the examples we draw upon may sound unusual, others will be very familiar. We will also how the traditional isolationist nature of PhD work, results in us individualising experience and internalising issues as a personal-failure. Given the context of academia, this workshop aims to offer possible frameworks of support.

Planning for your future: Insights from your strengths, values and PhD graduates

Online via Zoom
Attendance: 34 / 34

Over the last 12 months, we’ve all found ourselves in unfamiliar and uncertain situations. We’ve probably all learned a bit more about how we face challenges and what is important to us. In this workshop, you’ll have the chance to synthesise this learning, translate it into personal strengths and values and discuss what that means when thinking about your future post-PhD.

Life History Research: How History Shapes Lives

Online via Zoom
Attendance: 46 / 46

The workshop will consist of a synchronously delivered lecture followed by breakout groups in which participants will be able to relate issues raised in the presentation to their own research. Whether you are still at the research design stage or are busy with data analysis and whether or not you intend to undertake life history research after all, the session will help you reflect on rigour in qualitative interviewing, how we go from the individual to the more general, how we narrate our lives, and crucially how culture and history inflect research participants' narrations. Ultimately the session will aim to remind novice researchers of the critical dimension of qualitative research and how it can make visible social change and agency.

Decolonising our Practice in Qualitative (Health) Research

Online
Attendance: 40 / 46

During this session, we will hear from Johannah Keikelame, who will discuss her own work on decolonising research methodologies, how she came to think and write about these issues, and lessons learned from a qualitative research project she was involved in in Cape Town, South Africa.  This session will include a live Q and A session with Johannah, where students will have the opportunity to ask questions on this topic area to inform your own thinking and research practice.  In addition, we will discuss approaches to decolonising research and how it applies to all aspects of the research process, from conceptualisation to dissemination and sustainability of research.

Coming through COVID – what has happened to me and my PhD?

Online
Attendance: 28 / 28

This workshop draws on a pilot project from Dr Beth Cross at University of West of Scotland called Homestretch. Homestretch experiments with the possibility of offering an online supportive space. It is partly based on the theory that playful activities can sometimes prompt serious insights and discoveries at depth. These practices draw on mindfulness but equally are resonant with a shift in research practice that engages with critical social materialist and post humanist insights. It also draws on the principle that we learn best from our experiences when given time to process and share.

Doing Academia: How Feminist Principles Can Challenge Neo-Liberal Pressures in the Classroom and in Research

Online via Zoom
Attendance: 46 / 46

This training will be valuable to anyone committed to building excellent working spaces. Whether you are currently working as a graduate teaching assistant, or thinking of attending because of aspirations towards lecturing (or both), we hope to deliver space to think through barriers and challenges, and emerge feeling enabled.
