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:Consultancy Skills Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This participative workshop run by How2Glu will help you to identify and develop key consultancy skills\, practical approaches to developing client relationships\, and workshop common issues. \nFirst\, we will look at drivers and prospective client / partner expectations and the characteristics of successful client consultant / partner-advisor relationships.

During the session you will use glucard™ tools to help you identify ways of ‘adding value’ and ways to build / translate relationships for ‘upselling’\, repeat business and recommendations. We will look at different consultancy models\, such as salaried\, freelance\, associate\, and internal consultancy and consider how Intellectual Property (IP) relates to consultancy. Sabina will graphically illustrate concepts and demonstrate tools by sharing live visualisations. We will discuss common issues in consultancy and workshop ways to overcome them. We will use real examples and methods that are accessible\, visual and hands-on and mindful of the present context that will help you develop consultancy skills and opportunities.

SUMMARY:Viva Survivor Workshop
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 25 places.

SUMMARY:Viva Survivor Workshop
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.
