• Developing Researchers & Cultural Change: In Conversation with Taryn BellLink opens in a new window [25:21]

This time I’m chatting to Taryn Bell (Organisational Development & Professional Learning, University of Leeds), who’s another of our contributors to the recent research culture special issueLink opens in a new window. We talk through Taryn’s varied career in archaeology and more recent efforts in researcher development. And it’s the latter of these which forms the focus of her paper The More the Merrier: Approaches to the design and delivery of professional development for researchers in UK higher education institutionsLink opens in a new window, which we explore in some detail. We discuss the benefits and challenges in organising researcher development events, targeted at specific seniority levels or broadly accessible alike, along with danger in assuming anything about the age of scholars at different career stages. Along the way, we talk about Taryn’s publishing experience, focussing especially on dealing with reviewers, but also in terms of positive experiences too. We close out our conversation as always with advice for early career scholars about publishing and crafting their early articles.
