SUMMARY:Queer(ing) Migration film screening and director Q&A - MMB PGR Group
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the date for the second MMB PGR discussion group taking place on Thursday 27th February from 3:00-5:00pm (Arts Complex LT3). \nContinuing our thread of critical approaches to migration studies\, we will be paying attention to perspectives on queer(ing) migration\, particularly to challenge understandings of queer liberation through migration. Which bodies are afforded opportunities to migrate? How do borders act as violent regulators of Western understandings of sex\, genders\, and sexualities? How might queer perspectives challenge the assumption that queer refugees are ‘liberated’ in and through their asylum claims? \nTo help us with these questions\, we are excited to be screening the film Queer Exile\, directed by writer and activist Ahmed Awadalla. He will join us virtually to take part in a Q&A after the screening. The details of the film are below: \nAfter fleeing Egypt post-2011 revolution\, an activist seeks freedom in Berlin but finds himself in a refugee camp surrounded by far-right protests. As he navigates the hostility and nostalgia for his past\, he reflects on exile\, queerness\, and the meaning of “home” while forming new friendships. \nDrinks and popcorn will be provided to go along with the film screening. Most importantly\, this is an interdisciplinary space and we value as much input from as many perspectives as possible! \nPlease register to attend as this will help us plan catering and let us know if you have any dietary requirements. For further information\, please get in touch. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

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:Viva Survivor
DESCRIPTION:The viva is almost the end of the PhD. A lot of work leads to this point\, but often anxiety can mix with the sense of achievement at completing the thesis. For many candidates the time before the viva is filled with uncertainty about the day\, uncertainty about how to prepare well – and stress for what the viva might be like. \nViva Survivor is for postgraduate researchers who want to know how to be ready for their viva. In this three-hour live webinar\, you will:\n• learn realistic expectations for the PhD viva;\n• identify key practical steps to take before submission;\n• explore practical strategies for preparation and the day of the viva. \nTime will be spent exploring expectations for both in-person and video vivas\, and there will be plenty of time for Q&A over text chat. Viva Survivor will be delivered live by Dr Nathan Ryder over Zoom. Registration is limited to 30 places.

SUMMARY:We Encourage Each Other to (Re)fuse:  A Writing Workshop on Queer and Decolonial Practices for Liberating Participatory Inquiry
DESCRIPTION:This interactive half-day workshop is for politically engaged researchers and writers who seek to address the root causes of socio-ecological injustice\, and who work with/in modern/colonial knowledge institutions and systems. Please join if you have an inkling that this might be you!\n\nDuring our time together\, we’ll move through a flow of ‘thinking-feeling’ writing exercises and creative conversations. These will help us explore different ways of relating with institutional conditionings\, queer conditions that limit our approaches to inquiry\, and transmute binary ways of being into more relational ones. The idea is to make space to refuse habits that harm and re-fuse with the wider field of life-bearing realities.\n\nThis workshop is co-organized by ARCIO and SPICE in collaboration with Dr. Sarah Amsler\, who will facilitate online.\n\n\nThe writing workshop open to ARCIO and SPICE members (including doctoral researchers)\, and other members of the University of Bristol and extended networks who are interested in de-institutionalizing and queering knowledge practices and sensibilities.\n\nThis event will be most beneficial for people who are working on writing differently\, and/or who draw on (or wish to increasingly draw on) feminist\, participative\, queer\, and/or decolonial approaches in their work\, and as spaces are limited\, priority will be given to them.

SUMMARY:Working with Marginalised Communities Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:A growing number of PhD students and Early Career Researchers have shown interest in pursuing research with and for communities who have traditionally been viewed from an abstract distance if\, indeed\, they have been viewed at all. The scope of these projects is wide and includes researchers working with women in domestic violence refuges\, teenagers in socio-economically deprived areas of London and Afghani refugee communities caught in the limbo of the Aegean islands. \nWhat these projects all have in common is that they bring academic scholars into contact with individuals and communities that are likely to have experienced trauma as well as disempowering if not explicitly violent interactions with institutional and state authorities. High levels of professional and personal sensitivity and ethics are essential if the researcher is to avoid replicating the participants’ experiences of marginalisation and creating an abstract rather than rich\, nuanced picture of their live s and experiences. This is a webinar series delivered by Fred Ehresmann\, Senior Lecturer in Mental Health at the University of the West of England and Dr Jade Lee\, director of Aurora Learning and former UK Programme Lead of School Bus Project\, an NGO that supported educational programmes for young refugees in Europe. \nBy the end of the webinars\, participants will:\n• Have an introductory understanding of the psychological and physiological impact of chronic trauma on the individual.\n• Have an understanding of ‘Trauma Informed Care’ and why it is an integral part of working respectfully and ethically with traumatized\npopulations.\n• Have considered the importance of informed consent and what this looks like practically in unstable environments.\n• Have practical strategies for conducting research interviews in a sensitive\, ethical\, and trauma-informed manner.\n• Have explored their own position as researchers and individuals within a broader social context and the expectations and\npreconceptions they bring to the interaction.\n• Considered the importance of safeguarding their own mental wellbeing in the research context and practical ways of doing so \n  \nPlease note: you will need to sign up to each day individually through Eventbrite\, each day will be different to the last so sign up to all of them for the full course!

SUMMARY:SWDTP Seminar Series: The Many Faces of Activist Research
DESCRIPTION:This seminar series explores theoretical\, methodological\, and practical tools for conducting what can be broadly defined as “activist research”. This is a form of research that challenges the traditional separation between theory/action\, academy/society and is committed to producing knowledge grounded in and generative of social and material changes in particular places. There are many ways in which the intersection between these domains is understood and practiced: from “scholar-activism” and “militant research”\, to “community experiments” and “participatory-action-research” and more. Through a reflective and inquisitive approach toward the concepts of research and activism\, this series seeks to unfold the plurality of ways in which we can understand and engage in research-activism.\nAcross a series of four events\, we hope to foster critical discussions and nurture a supportive and inclusive environment where collaborative networks can be forged. We will engage with the work of both established and early career researchers\, as well as representatives from outside of the university\, to consider the diverse ways in which research and activism intersect and the opportunities\, challenges\, possibilities and impossibilities it raises. \nEach Zoom webinar will feature short presentations from three speakers and will have a chance for audience questions and answers. Please join us for what we hope to be a set of stimulating and generative discussions. \nDates: \nApril 19th 2-4pm Introduction to activist research\, key questions and themes\n\nApril 26th 2-4pm Co-designing research and working with collectives\nMay 3rd 2-4pm Methods\, access and questions of power\n\nMay 10th 2-4pm Regenerative research cultures\n\nFor more details and to see who will be speaking at each session\, please check the Eventbrite page

SUMMARY:Book Launch with Brian Rappert: Performing Deception
DESCRIPTION:SPIN is delighted to co-host the book launch for SPIN-ster Brian Rappert’s new book as part of our events series with the SWDTP\n \n\nJoin us and our fascinating panellists for an evening to discuss the book and its themes\, including a Q & A session. The event will be held online\, through Zoom. All are welcome. Sign up here! \nPanelists: \n\nClare Birchall\nSusan Maret\nTodd Landman\n\nAbout the Book \nIn Performing Deception\, Brian Rappert reconstructs the practice of entertainment magic by analysing it through the lens of secrecy\, deception and learning\, as he goes about studying conjuring himself. Through this novel meditation on reasoning and skill\, Rappert elevates magic from the undertaking of mere trickery to an art that offers the basis for rethinking our possibilities for acting in the modern world.  \nPerforming Deception covers a wide range of theories in sociology\, philosophy\, psychology and elsewhere in order to offer a striking assessment of the way secrecy and deception are woven into social interactions\, as well as the illusionary and paradoxical status of expertise. \nAbout the Author \nBrian Rappert is a Professor of Science\, Technology and Public Affairs at the University of Exeter. His long-term interest has been the examination of the strategic management of information\, particularly in relation to armed conflict. His books include Controlling the Weapons of War: Politics\, Persuasion\, and the Prohibition of Inhumanity; Biotechnology\, Security and the Search for Limits; and Education and Ethics in the Life Science. More recently he has been interested in the social\, ethical\, and political issues associated with researching and writing about secrets\, as in his books Experimental Secrets\, How to Look Good in a War and Dis-eases of Secrecy. \n\nHave a look at our previous SPIN events here\n\n

SUMMARY:Feminist Perspectives and Intersectionality
DESCRIPTION:The second online session in the SWDTP Feminist Perspectives webinar series 2022. \n\nAbout the session\nFor many\, intersectionality should not be considered as a separate feminist topic\, but rather as a framework andor concept that infiltrates all areas of feminist thought and analysis. \nThis webinar will: \n\nProvide an introduction to the history of intersectionality\nIllustrate how this concept\, which was generated from within Black feminist thought\, is being developed and put to use today\nAsk you to consider whether it should it be used by white feminists and others in ways that include factors other than gender and race such as disabilities\, sexualities\, social class\nStimulate debate about the validity of expanding the concept and explore why controversies exist in this field\nConsider the future directions of the concept of intersectionality\, given current concerns with decolonising feminist approaches\nProvide a space to reflect on how these ideas around intersectionality might shape our own research\n\n  \nIn addition\, the international perspectives\, experiences\, actions and studies presented in this session will allow us to think about how popular usage has and has not been expanded to other international contexts and to consider its comparative usefulness for conveying the experiences of other ethnic minority and indigenous groups in vastly different global contexts. \n \n  \nSign up on Eventbrite here!\n

SUMMARY:Book discussion - Violent Ignorance: Confronting Racism & Migration Control
DESCRIPTION:Book discussion in association with SPIN\, MMB and SWDTP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nJoin us for this online event\, where Hannah Jones will discuss her book Violent Ignorance: Confronting Racism and Migration Control with Chloe Peacock from the University of Bristol. \n\nAbout the book\nAn elected politician is assassinated in the street by a terrorist associated with extreme political groups\, and the national response is to encourage picnics. Thousands of people are held in prison-like conditions without judicial oversight or any time-limit on their sentence . An attempt to re-assert national sovereignty and borders leads thousands of citizens to register for dual citizenship with other countries\, some overcoming family associations with genocide in their second country of nationality to do so. \nThis is life in the UK today. How then are things still continuing as ‘normal’? How can we confront these phenomena and why do we so often refuse to? What are the practices that help us to accommodate the unconscionable? How might we contend with the horrors that meet us each day\, rather than becoming desensitized to them? \nViolent Ignorance sets out to examine these questions through an understanding of how the past persists in the present\, how trauma is silenced or reappears\, and how we might reimagine identity and connection in ways that counter – rather than ignore – historic violence. In particular Hannah Jones shows how border controls and enforcement\, and its corollary\, racism and violence\, have shifted over time. Drawing on thinkers from John Berger to Ben Okri\, from Audre Lorde to Susan Sontag\, the book questions what it means to belong\, and discusses how hierarchies of belonging are revealed by what we can see\, and what we can ignore. \n\nSign up here!

SUMMARY:Feminist Perspectives and Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:Sign up on Eventbrite here\n\nAbout the session\nTaking inspiration from the epistemological and theoretical critiques and developments in feminisms\, feminist methods and methodologies are about more than just including women in research or women studying women. \nFeminist methods tend to offer a challenge to knowledge production itself interlinked with feminist political intent\, ethical processes\, egalitarianism\, and the examination of power\, dominance\, inequality\, or discrimination. \nThis webinar will provide an introduction to the history of feminist methods in concert with the growth of feminist thought. We illustrate both specific methodologies developed in and through feminist thought\, and how feminist thought can be brought to bear on other methods and methodologies (e.g.\, interviews\, fieldwork\, ethnography\, media studies)\, as well as on other aspects of the research process (e.g.\, ethics\, representation). \n\nFind out more about the webinar series here

SUMMARY:Working with Marginalised Communities: Ethical Practice for PhD Scholars
DESCRIPTION:Working With Marginalised Communities: Towards an Ethical Practice for PhD Scholars. A three-day webinar course on 27\, 28\, 29 April \n\n\nA growing number of PhD students and Early Career Researchers have shown interest in pursuing research with and for communities who have traditionally been viewed from an abstract distance if\, indeed\, they have been viewed at all. The scope of these projects is wide and includes researchers working with women in domestic violence refuges\, teenagers in socio-economically deprived areas of London and Afghani refugee communities caught in the limbo of the Aegean islands. \nWhat these projects all have in common is that they bring academic scholars into contact with individuals and communities that are likely to have experienced trauma as well as disempowering if not explicitly violent interactions with institutional and state authorities. High levels of professional and personal sensitivity and ethics are essential if the researcher is to avoid replicating the participants’ experiences of marginalisation and creating an abstract rather than rich\, nuanced picture of their lives and experiences. \nThis is a three part webinar series delivered by Fred Ehresmann\, Senior Lecturer in Mental Health at the University of the West of England and Dr Jade Lee\, director of Aurora Learning and UK Programme Lead of School Bus Project\, an NGO that supports educational programmes for young refugees in Europe. \n  \nNote: Please only sign up if you are able to attend all three sessions \nRegister your place on Eventbrite here\n
