Decolonising methodologies - Reading with ResearchersMicrosoft TeamsReading with Researchers: Reading with a purpose and an ability to network and learn something along the way? This sounds a positive use of your time, and you get to speak to other PhDs and share thoughts and opinions. We are running three sessions this Autumn, based around writing more productively, surviving your viva, and two discussions on how we can think about decolonising our research and research practice
Decolonizing methodologies: Research and Indigenous peoples by Linda Tuhiwai Smith 18th November 10.00-11.00 This session is a starting point for discussing how we might conceptualise and design our research in an increasingly decolonising academia. Please read the introduction and at least part of another chapter relevant to their research to share perspectives in particular relation to their current and future research methodologies.

Research Poster DesignMicrosoft TeamsResearch Poster Design: Designed for Postgraduate Researchers producing their first poster; and also a refresher for those who have produced several. A good poster allows us to communicate our research quickly and clearly. A poor poster will put off our intended audience. So how do we make our poster clear, impactful AND tell everyone what we know? To start we will evaluate a series of posters in order to decide what works; which of them are clear, engage us with their research and memorable. We will also examine two major design styles to see what will work for us and our research. We will look at further techniques for poster design and presentation and discuss how to tailor this to your research area. PowerPoint is one of the simpler methods of Poster design, and is therefore the package that we will be suggesting you use. If you are unfamiliar with PowerPoint or want to use another software package then you will need to attend an IT Services training course. ‘Specific, to the point advice & guidelines’ 2019 ‘Excellent trainer and materials, clear and concise’ 2019 Meeting URL: |

Masterclass for Post Graduate Research StudentsMicrosoft TeamsLooking after your wellbeingThis masterclass is aimed at Post Graduate Research (PGR) students to provide a snapshot of strategies and tips that you can use to look after your wellbeing. We understand that as a PGR student you may be faced with challenges throughout your course both academically and personally; juggling study with work or family commitments, stress surrounding future career choices or pressures of a financial nature for example. The session will provide you with advice on how to manage some of these and other challenges that may arise during your Post Graduate course. You will come away with a range of practical tools and resources that you can use to remain motivated, productive and that can help you to manage competing demands. |

Pint & PhDOnlineLooking for opportunities to present and network?
Every other Wednesday, make yourself a drink and join us on Microsoft Teams to hear the latest research from members of the PGR community!
Each of our Pint & PhD events will feature 2-3 PhD students talking about their research in an informal and engaging way to a general audience for up to 10 minutes, with the opportunity for questions and further discussion afterwards.
All disciplines and subjects are welcome, so come and be curious and learn about something new - and if presenting, make sure you're pitching it to a cross-disciplinary audience!
