SUMMARY:The Decolonial Researcher
DESCRIPTION:This course will offer an in-depth exploration of decolonising academia by asking: What are the possibilities when it comes to decolonial research? \nThis one-day course will be split into four sections:  \n\nExamining the decolonial critique of academia. This will involve exploring some of the main themes found within decolonial scholarship and activism with a specific focus on the decolonial critique of social science research.\nExploring some of the key predecessors of decolonial research which have had a significant impact on current thinking about decolonial research. More specifically\, consideration will be given to the relationship between feminist research\, Indigenous research\, and decolonial research.\nConsidering various strategies which have been suggested to decolonise research. This will involve discussing some of the practical strategies that may be used when trying to produce decolonial research.\nOffering a critique of decolonial research. This will involve recognising the limitations of decolonial research which make it an imperfect approach to conducting research.\n\nBy the end of the course\, participants will: \n\nBe well-versed in the decolonial critique of academia\, particularly in relation to social science research.\nBe able to identify the core principles and strategies which constitute decolonial research.\nBe prepared to offer a lucid critique of decolonial research.\n\n  \nPlease note this event is not run by the SWDTP.

SUMMARY:Excellence at Interview- Grants and Jobs Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:An interview is a precious opportunity to make a positive\, memorable impression and advance a researcher’s career. Thorough preparation is vital\, and that means working on style as well as content. The way candidates conduct themselves\, present ideas and respond to questions has a powerful influence on the way they are perceived. Even an academic front-runner can come unstuck if he or she lacks ‘presence’ and has difficulty interacting with others. \n  \nThe topics addressed include: \n• Principles of effective interviews \n• Managing nerves and appearing confident \n• Achieving physical and vocal presence \n• Engaging the interview panel \n• Responding convincingly to questions. \n  \nCourse participants learn how to do themselves justice under interview conditions. They develop a clearer\, more authoritative interview style that allows the strength of their ideas to shine through. After the course\, you’ll be able to get access to a course summary\, follow-up material and the VOX Academy – an online repository of written guidance\, lively videos and other resources to help you extend your learning and take your communication skills to the next level.

SUMMARY:How do you choose a reference manager?
DESCRIPTION:With so many options available\, choosing a reference manager can be overwhelming and confusing. In this 60-minute webinar\, we will look at three of the most commonly-used reference managers: Endnote\, Mendeley and Zotero. We will explore key considerations such as the learning curve of the software\, their compatibility with word processors and how easily they import various file formats. There will be a demonstration of each reference manager\, illustrating their main features and advantages\, as well as a quick comparison of the software and their pros and cons. \nChoosing a reference manager is essential in the early stages of doctoral research and when collaborating on a literature review within a research team. \nThis is the second webinar in the SWDTP literature review series.Kerrianne Orriss is a Teaching and Learning Librarian at the University of Bristol.Please note this session will be recorded. Some limited participation may be elicited in the session (no breakout groups). \nRegister on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-do-you-choose-a-reference-manager-tickets-1237818671969?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:How do you search for articles in a systematic way?
DESCRIPTION:In this 60-minute webinar\, we will explore the difference between a “traditional” literature review and one that draws on systematic methodologies. We will examine what is meant by a “comprehensive” search and how to build a robust search strategy\, delve into searching in various databases\, and discuss how to manage the screening of our results. Systematic literature reviews can be used in your doctoral dissertation. They are often commissioned by organisations that need background information to inform a budget decision\, policy advocacy or to bid for funding\, so it is a useful skill for anyone planning a career as a social science researcher. \nThis webinar will be delivered by Rosey Crow who is Subject librarian for the School of Education and the School for Policy Studies at the University of Bristol. Active participation is not expected. You are\, of course\, welcome to raise questions during the session. Please note this session will be recorded. \nRegister here on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-do-you-search-for-articles-in-a-systematic-way-tickets-1220789597549?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:How2Glu: CV Builder
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will help you understand how to develop relevant experience and demonstrate competencies by working through individual and group activities to identify approaches for different careers paths\, explore different kinds of CV and how to find helpful resources. \nWe’ll look at examples of chronological\, skills-based\, academic\, project-based and portfolio CVs and talk through what options are going to work best for you. You’ll then capture your career goals in terms of values\, motivations and working environment. And then we’ll then look at five sought-after transferable skills – communication\, confidence\, expectation management\, flexibility and optimism – and ways you can enhance\, develop and evidence them through your PhD experience. \nYou will create a glucard™ CV builder to capture your transferable skills\, experience and examples. We’ll work through common issues and barriers and Sabina will share examples of different career journeys and modes of presentation\, graphically facilitate the session\, demonstrating key learning and tools and link further resources.

SUMMARY:Healthy and Sustainable Productivity Habits
DESCRIPTION:As an academic you are expected to fulfil a number of different roles. You are a researcher\, educator\, you have administrative tasks and are expected to show leadership and be an effective manager. This often includes defining your own goals and being expected to reinvent yourself constantly\, publish or perish\, inspire and engage students and the wider public\, and to work at the fringes of research and go beyond. On top of that you are bombarded by university meetings\, requests to attend to administrative tasks and email overload! This is exacerbated by being a parent\, where we have much less time and energy often resulting in feeling we are a bad parent as well a bad researcher. \nAll of this can pile the pressure on and can feel overwhelming. Unfortunately\, our typical approach to dealing with this is to react to the loudest and latest requests\, effectively only responding to what other people want from us rather than being able to prioritise the most important tasks. As a result\, we work long hours\, even during weekends\, while being at the same time frustrated not achieving our goals. \nThis session will help you break this vicious circle. You will be introduced to a wide range of modern productivity tools and techniques\, alongside numerous examples from real academic work\, to help you deal with these challenges. You will be able to raise your productivity\, set and achieve your goals\, reduce your stress\, boost your creativity\, increase you thinking time\, beat procrastination\, and keep focused and calm during stressful times – All with the effect of being more in control\, balanced and\, eventually\, happier and more fulfilled. \nThe workshop will take place in-person at the SWDTP Offices in 1 Priory Road\, Bristol\, BS8 1TX.\nThe workshop has 2 parts. In the first part we talk about how to rethink what productivity means. This includes also some practical work where participants look at their own work/life situation to gain insights. In the second part I will introduce powerful tricks and tips to help you to stay on track.\nOverall\, the workshop is highly interactive and discussion is encouraged.

SUMMARY:Channel or Challenge Perfectionism?
DESCRIPTION:In this participative\, graphically-facilitated workshop\, we will look at perfectionism that channels continuous improvement and optimistic approaches. We’ll share ways you can identify realistic standards and goals\, reframe mistakes as learning\, how to approach planning and preparation\, and how to counter risk-aversion and procrastination. Perfection can impact productivity. So in terms of sought-after transferable skills such as time management\, we’ll look at how to identify ‘good enough’\, redirecting time and energy to other priorities. Perfectionism is a common trait in academia. In this workshop we’ll consider where this can be best directed as it does not need to be applied across all aspects of your work. We’ll look at different strategies to channel improvement in areas that will have a positive effect on your research and research experience – such as how to manage expectations\, setting realistic goals\, dealing with feedback\, developing a more flexible approach\, and unlocking your creativity – helping open up new opportunities. Sabina will illustrate concepts\, share her own experiences and demonstrate tools by sharing live visualisations and respond to your particular questions and objectives.
