Helpful for avoiding the use of standard template type narratives on research culture in funding applications

Yesterday we hosted a meeting of local topic matter experts for how we use ‘rapport’ in policing contexts. Clear critical discussion about how useful these concepts are in practice and how research needs to better fit practical need. A group of critical researchers, early career researchers, and experienced practitioner voices all contributed to an energising discussion. Great work from all the presenters and all who joined the energised critical discussion. I’ll be following up with everyone. Special well done to my PhD student Jamie Kiltie who did a great job presenting work from our lab on trying to make this research much more organic and naturalistic. Let’s keep working to make research look more like practice, and use advanced methodologies to support everyday needs

Join us at "Preparing for Fieldwork"! This session outlines several key areas for contemplation prior to commencing research fieldwork. Themes to be addressed include practical issues relating to research logistics, planning and engagement, as well as considerations of how fieldwork may impact on people's personal and professional domains.

I always appreciate your insights, Christine Senn, PhD! The question you addressed is frequently encountered in the industry. Although there's no universally prescribed path, I like how this map provides a clear glimpse into the diverse branches one can explore within the realm of research.

Just a reminder: I will be speaking tomorrow at the Beyond Academia - UCBerkeley Conference. I will be speaking on Teaching and Learning Careers outside of academia as I talk about my experiences with the Social Media Research Institute . My panel is 2:00PM EST/1:00PM CST11:00 PST. The link for the conference is in the comment below. I am excited to talk about my journey through academia to industry. #careers #academia #SocialMediaResearchInstitute #conference

Delighted to see our latest research published!! Thanks Diane, Nicole, Lorelli, Liza, Elizabeth, Tracy and Gina!! What did we find out from interviews with 62 graduate students?? Graduate school can involve great stress and pressure for students. In this study, we prioritized graduate students’ perspectives on supervision and peer mentoring and how each type of support contributes to students’ academic success and wellbeing. Findings transcend the four disciplines of study. Communities of support are described that involve both supervisors and peers in combination, clusters of meaning by supervisory paradigm are identified and original findings presented that expand upon the learning alliance framework by explicitly considering the role of peer mentors in graduate student success. https://lnkd.in/gYPvS4bR

#FINEXPhils Reynaldo (Rey) Lugtu writes for The Manila Times, "Is the FGD still relevant?" The relevance of focused group discussions (FGDs) has been a topic of debate in recent years. This method has been a staple in market research, social sciences, and policy development. However, the digital age has introduced new methodologies that challenge the supremacy of FGDs. Here, we explore arguments for and against FGDs and examine emerging new approaches. Proponents of FGDs argue that this method offers a rich, in-depth understanding of participants’ perspectives. FGDs allow researchers to explore complex behaviors, motivations, and attitudes in a way that quantitative methods cannot. The group dynamics often lead to a synergistic effect, where participants build on each other’s ideas, revealing insights that might not emerge in individual interviews. The interactive nature of FGDs enables the researcher to observe non-verbal cues and group interactions, providing a more nuanced understanding of the topic under study.
