Participant Observation & Participatory Research
Microsoft Teams

This event has been organised by Researcher Development. For any enquiries, please contact pgresearchskills@warwick.ac.uk.

 Participant observation & participatory research


Is collaborative work something you enjoy? How do researchers observe? Can you think of an instance where observation would be valuable in your work? What is it like? Who is there? What has happened to the people in this place? Who is in control, and who has power? What are they allowed to do? How does that setting affect the lives of people? During the workshop, we will discuss our research, ask such questions, share our experiences, and learn from one another. Topics covered will include:

 

  • Qualitative research & ethnography & understanding society
  • Finding people: obtaining access & getting to know others
  • Living in that community: building a relationship of trust
  • Being a 'fly on the wall': observing
  • Being a 'fly in the soup': participating
  • Data collection: recording & taking notes in the field
  • Insider or outsider: what is the researcher's role?
  • Putting yourself in their shoes: ethical considerations
  • Analysing the data & writing your research

Dealing with Social Anxiety
Microsoft Teams

We all get a bit shy, anxious, and embarrassed from time to time when we are due to speak or present in front of large crowds, although some of us are shyer than others. Social anxiety is used to describe feelings of anxiety and fear that occur in response to social situations.

Many postgraduate students report experiences of social anxiety, especially since the Covid pandemic and social distancing experiences. In addition, technologies although helping us to feel more connected and closer together are also taking away our social skills. Subsequently, social anxiety can make us feel distressed, overwhelmed, and feel unable to cope with social situations.

In this workshop, we aim to explain social anxiety and how to overcome it through CBT evidence-based strategies. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to recognise what social anxiety is, and what you can do to manage your own worries and doubts around social situations.

Note: This is a psychoeducation workshop, not a treatment session.
