Join us for a day of exploring how wellbeing impacts research! Note this is a free, hybrid event-please sign up for online or in person.

Three times a year the Doctoral School welcomes research communities from within and outside University of the Arts London (UAL) to gather around a topic of concern. At these events we will share practices, build knowledge, test methods and debate ideas.

For the first Open Doctoral School on wellbeing and research, we are interested in discussing themes including (but not limited to) researcher safety; prospective and retrospective ethics and integrity; “emotionally demanding research” and emotional safety; risk, harm and danger at work; working with participants and stakeholders, and more, as related to “real world” dilemmas and lived experience.

The afternoon will comprise a keynote and seven (optional) workshops on themes including healing, care, burnout and more, facilitated by researcher-practitioners from within and external to UAL.

Contributors include Tim Stephens and Manrutt Wongkaew, Tonicha Child, R.M. Sánchez-Camus, Carole Morrison and Liz Bunting, Alison Green, Rachel Marsden, Jane Bacon and our keynote speaker, Petra Boynton.

The event is open to all, including people undertaking academic studies or working within Higher Education, as well as those working in different organisations and fields (beyond).

We invite people interested in the above themes to join us, AND to bring along those from your support networks: your supervisors, colleagues and collaborators, your friends, partners and family members. The event is open to all, including people undertaking academic studies or working within Higher Education, as well as those working in different organisations and fields (beyond).
