Working in Research Teams
Microsoft Teams

Research funders are more often requesting that research is undertaken by research teams; often allowing for the pooling of diverse knowledge & disciplines, the development of new and early career researchers working alongside more experienced colleagues; and enabling us to be more globalised in perspective and behaviour.

Working in research teams session looks at best practice, security & ethics, collaborative practice and respectful research behaviour.

Writing for non-academic audiences
Microsoft Teams

This workshop is intended for academics who would like to think about communicating their research to non-academic audiences and are wondering where to start. The workshop will focus on some typical pieces they may need to write. These include press releases, op-eds (and pitching op-eds), and press kits in case of larger projects. The goal of the workshop is to encourage PGRs to think of how they can publicise their work and why this is important. And then to give them some tools to widen their audiences and be well-prepared to write short articles, blog posts or press releases. Delivered by an ex-journalist and political cartoonist and current blog writer.

Autoethnography: Researcher as Research Subject
Microsoft Teams

Autoethnography:

Researcher as a Research Subject

 

Would you like to tell part of your life story in a scholarly manner? Who has experienced what you went through; would you like to investigate this in the literature review? What impact can writing about your lived experience have on creating a sustainable, inclusive and transformative future? How would you feel if we/the audience read your story? In this workshop, you will be able to explore self-narration within a social context using autoethnography as a method. Researchers who are curious about sharing their experiences in their research and unsure where to begin can benefit from this workshop. Topics covered will include:



  • Definition of autoethnography
  • Research topics in autoethnography
  • Data collection in autoethnography
  • Writing vulnerably and evocatively
  • Ethical considerations
  • Publishing autoethnography

Writing in Science series: Writing about data
Microsoft Teams
 

This session provides key advice for constructing a ‘narrative’ around research data. It will look at the structure and organisation of typical data analysis sections across the STEM field; how to use effective signposting and sequencing; referring effectively to figures and tables; grammar and English language usage; and building research into a ‘story’. It will be very helpful for participants to bring along some data that the wish to write about. Time will be made available in the workshop to analyse good and less good examples of data analysis, and for participants to plan a results narrative.
