Reflective practice, analytical reflection and (particularly) reflexivity, are generally recognised as the core characteristics of research and teaching practice. Reflexivity is a strategy to question our own attitudes, thought processes, values, assumptions, prejudices, and habitual actions, to try to understand our complex roles in relation to others. Reflexivity involves thinking from within experiences ‘turned or reflected back upon the mind itself’. Reflective practice and reflexivity are therefore a valuable developmental process for any professional or researcher.

In this session, we will examine key features of reflection, introduce several models of reflective practice

(Such as the Gibbs model) and understand how reflective practice can help you learn and the tools you can use to support reflective learning.

Reflective Practice can enable practitioners to learn from the experience of themselves, their work, and how they relate to home and work, significant others and wider society and culture

Approaching the end of the academic year, there will be increasing pressure on job hunting. From tailoring CV, drafting a cover letter to mastering video interviews, this session can help you ace your job hunting!

This session will be held as a webinar via Microsoft Teams. Please ensure you are logged into Teams via your University of Warwick Microsoft365 account.

A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so.

The series is designed to support you with many aspects of the process. We cover writing and speaking, reading

and presenting. We discuss how we network and create connections. We also discuss the vagaries of undertaking

research in the UK, strange British habits and accents, the words that mean something entirely different and trip

us up every time.

The sessions are run by a Warwick PhD and lecturer, who still occasionally struggles to find the correct English

word.
