Researcher Development Online- Reflexivity for ResearchersMicrosoft TeamsReflective 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.

Steps to Wellbeing: Sleep and relaxationIn person or online- for in person sessions, location: Wellbeing and Student Support (ground floor of Senate House)Studying at University can be an exciting, engaging, and fun time. It can also feel quite daunting at times and, as with anything in life, there may be challenges that arise. Wellbeing and Student Support recognise this, and therefore want to provide you with the opportunity to develop your own toolkit to help look after your wellbeing and mental health during this time. Wellbeing and Student Support have developed the Steps to Wellbeing Programme to assist you to focus on your individual wellbeing needs whilst studying at the University of Warwick and beyond. The aim of this programme is to provide you with the opportunity to reflect on your own wellbeing needs, and to provide a range of different strategies you can adopt and use in your day-to-day life – academically, socially, and personally. This programme focuses on five of the key areas of your wellbeing, which Wellbeing and Student Support recognise are also important to you when considering your wellbeing needs alongside your studies. These five areas are as follows: Managing stress and anxiety Productivity and work life balance Boosting low mood Sleep and relaxation Managing uncertainty |

Researcher Development Online- Presenting in Another Language (PhD in 2nd Language series)Microsoft TeamsPresenting in another language can sometimes makes us feel under extra pressure. Do you have a conference presentation, an upgrade, or a seminar coming up? Join us to learn how to face your presentations and get maximum impact. Whether you are presenting online or in person we will discuss how you can write, prepare and deliver a presentation with confidence, that leaves your audience feeling informed and engaged with your research. YouTube: Presenting in a second language – YouTube A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so. The ‘PhD in a second language’ 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; the words that mean something entirely different and trip us up every time. The sessions are run by a Warwick PhD alumni and lecturer who still occasionally struggles to find the correct English word.
