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:Authority\, Authenticity and Assertiveness Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Even though you really know your stuff\, it can be difficult to be heard in demanding\, and often highly charged environments. Maybe you sometimes feel that your voice has been drowned out by more senior or strident ones\, and that you don’t have the status to argue your corner? \nThis session will boost your ability to interact with others in a confident\, engaging and authentic manner. \nPlease note that\, although this session will be hosted online\, it will be interactive and so we recommend that\, where possible\, you join from a computer in a quiet space\, and turn your camera on during the session.

SUMMARY:Sandboxing: Qualitative Interviewing with Sand\, Objects\, and Figures
DESCRIPTION:The sandboxing method was developed from the tradition of play therapy\, specifically the World Technique\, where children create three dimensional scenes\, pictures\, or abstract designs with a range of miniature\, realistic and fantasy\, figures and everyday objects in a tray filled with sand. \nSandboxing adapts this therapeutic practice as a distinctive tool of qualitative data generation with children\, young people\, and adults who create sand scenes and discuss their metaphorical meanings in elicitation interviews. \nThis Bristol Conversations workshop explains the development of the sandboxing technique\, and reflects on the affordances\, limitations and ethical considerations of sandboxing. The workshop also offers an opportunity for attendees to engage with sandboxing materials\, and consider if they could adopt sandboxing for their own research and practice.

SUMMARY:SWDTP Pathway Leads and Institutional Stakeholders Forum 2024
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 intake of SWDTP students is the first cohort to follow the most recently revised ESRC training guidelines. With contribution from academic and professional services colleagues across our partner institutions\, we have now introduced new processes and components that students must engage with. We must also continue to have conversations across the Partnership in order to improve and enhance what we can offer – for students\, for colleagues in all our respective roles and capacities\, and for wider PGR communities. \nThrough the Pathway Leads and Institutional Stakeholders Forum\, we hope to bring together colleagues – institutional academic leads\, pathway leads\, coordinators\, supervisors\, board members and the hub team – for a day of constructive dialogues. We will explain new processes\, share experiences\, exchange best practices\, strengthen networks\, and seek ways to foster greater collaboration across the Partnership. \nObjectives for the Day \n\nHear your views and share experiences on current SWDTP Pathways\nReview the SWDTP recruitment process\nReview the Development Needs Analysis processes and requirements\nReview “Research in Practice” placement component\nExchange experiences and explore opportunities around supervisor training\nHear your views on collaboration across the Partnership can support your role\nMeet colleagues from within and across pathways and institutions\nFind out more about academic-led training and collaboration funding pots

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: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.
